I am extremely excited to announce the selection of Mr. Greg Louie as the next Principal of 
Saratoga High School. Mr. Louie brings 22 years of experience as a high school educator in the South Bay having served his first seven years as a high school English teacher, Activities Director, and coach at Silver Creek High School. Mr. Louie then began his educational leadership career in 2004 when he was appointed as Associate Principal at Santa Teresa High School and became Principal of that school in 2012, where he continues to serve in that role today.
During his tenure as Principal, Mr. Louie led Santa Teresa High School through a transition to a modified four-day block schedule with an embedded advisory/tutorial period, developed a culture of and focus on Social Emotional Learning, created a robust peer tutoring program to support students academically, and saw gains across all academic metrics.
Mr. Louie is a San Jose native and a graduate of Silver Creek High School. He earned a B.A. in English from UC Davis and a teaching credential, administrative credential, and Master of Arts in Education from San Jose State University. A husband and father of two middle school-aged children, Mr. Louie is a highly motivated and enthusiastic educator with a history of successful leadership and a commitment to excellence and student wellness. Mr. Louie is devoted to student-centered outcomes and will be an asset in service to the Saratoga High School students, staff, parents, and community.
After a comprehensive selection process that involved a rigorous application review by a committee, formal interviews with four different constituent groups, and thorough reference checks, I am confident that Mr. Louie is the right choice to lead Saratoga High School moving forward. Pending approval by the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District Board of Trustees on April 23rd, Mr. Louie’s employment will officially begin on July 1st. In the interim, Mr. Louie will work closely with Saratoga High School students, staff, and community along with district leadership to ensure a smooth transition.
Sincerely,
Mike
