Principal's News
Congratulations are in Order
On Thursday, June 8, Charu Gulati will be appointed as the principal of Tierra Linda for the 2023-24 school year. Ms. Gulati has been an educator for more than 20 years with experiences around the world. She came to TL as a science teacher in 2018 and has served as assistant principal for the past two years. She continues to learn about students, leadership, and building a strong culture and climate and looks forward to working with all students, staff, parents, and community members.
After 15 years as a school leader, I am moving up to be the Director of Human Resources for the Sonoma Valley Unified School District. During my time as a principal, I have continued to learn about DEIB, leading teams, building relationships, and creating spaces for innovation. This was put to the test during the past few years with online and hybrid learning due to the pandemic. I look forward to this new role and serving in a different capacity that also helps me to grow professionally. I will cherish the fond memories and will miss being at TL with students and staff. It is a wonderful middle school community.
