Amy Romem

Principal, Walnut Heights Elementary

This is my 7th year as a principal in the Walnut Creek School District. I'm so excited to work in a diverse community where we strive to engage, empower & inspire all learners. We care about 'the whole child,' which means academics, the arts, and social-emotional well-being. Check my @WalnutHeights_WC Twitter feed to see what's going on in our district and school, and also where I share interesting things related to education!

I've been an educator in the Bay Area for 20 years. I taught in the Moreland & San Ramon School Districts before getting my MA in Educational Psychology (Gifted Education) and Administrative Credential. I've been an Assistant Principal and Dean and spent 9 years as a Principal in the Los Altos School District.

I'm thrilled to be here - to further our work with Responsive Classroom - and to make school a place where each student sees themself, belongs, and wants to come, every day.
