District Leadership

Heath Rocha
Acting Superintendent

Statement from Board President Dr. Misty Davies
October 22, 2024

Dear LGSUHSD Community,

I am writing to inform you that due to personal reasons, Superintendent Bill W. Sanderson will be on leave for the remainder of this school year, resigning from his position on June 30, 2025.  

In order to ensure a smooth transition, the Board has appointed Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Heath Rocha to serve as the Acting Superintendent for the remainder of this school year. Heath has been a valued leader of the LGSUHSD community for the past 9 years, overseeing special education and student services. Additionally, we will begin a comprehensive search this year to find the next permanent Superintendent. Community input will be vital during this process; more details will be shared in the future as we weigh this important decision.

Bill W. Sanderson has served as our Superintendent since July 2022, and the Board of Trustees thanks him for all he has accomplished during this time. 

Selecting a Superintendent of our school district is the most important action a Board takes, and we are committed to ensuring we find and choose the best educational leader that represents our district’s values, mission, and vision. Again, our community’s partnership in this matter will be invaluable. More details on how to contribute will be provided in the months ahead.

Thank you for your continued partnership. We will have several community meetings in the upcoming months and invite you to join us there or at a scheduled Board Meeting to share any thoughts or feedback you may have.

Sincerely,
Dr. Misty Davies, President
Board of Trustees
