Superintendent of Schools
Excellence and Equity Go Hand in Hand
By Jill Baker, Ed.D.
Becoming superintendent here in August of 2020 was the continuation of a long and treasured association with a great school district. Thirty years ago, I started as a teacher here, later becoming a school principal and central office administrator. During that time, I also learned to appreciate our school system from a parent perspective, having had my own son graduate from our schools in 2018.
The Long Beach Unified School District is a storied place of learning, excellence and resilience. Much like our nation, LBUSD also is a big idea. We firmly believe in the innate talents and abilities of all, and we strive to help our students reach their fullest potential despite any barriers they may face.
