3 New Principals Selected At SRVUSD

DANVILLE, CA — The SRVUSD Board of Trustees approved three new principals at its April 3 meeting.

Karen Johnson will begin serving as principal of Neil Armstrong Elementary School on July 1. Johnson currently serves as assistant principal, and will continue as assistant principal for the rest of the year while Don Loflin, the retired principal of Live Oak Elementary School, will take over as interim principal. Johnson has served two years as assistant principal of Neil Armstrong, where she helped implement the school's Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.

"Ms. Johnson is a compassionate and student-centered leader, and a thoughtful listener. As a strong advocate for all students, she will be an excellent fit as the new principal of Neil Armstrong," SRVUSD Superintendent CJ Cammack said in a letter to families.

Johnson takes over for Jared Gagnon, who will take over as SRVUSD’s new director of elementary education after spring break.

Andi Calloway, the current principal of Diablo Vista Middle School, will begin as principal of Quail Run Elementary School on July 1. Calloway has served in leadership roles with Pleasanton Unified School District, and served seven years as a counselor for Gale Ranch Middle School. She will replace Bassant Abdelrahman, who took over in July 2024.

“Dedicated to maintaining a nurturing, high-achieving environment for our students, Ms. Calloway is known as an approachable and responsive leader. She balances compassion with accountability and consistency, to ensure every student feels seen and supported,” Cammack wrote.

Jami Greer will take over as principal of Stone Valley Middle School starting July 1. Greer has served for the past four years as assistant principal at Miramonte High School, and has taught in districts like Acalanes Union High School District. She will replace Principal Justin White.

“As a leader, Ms. Greer believes in the power of strong family partnerships. She is known for listening actively and working tirelessly to ensure every student receives the support they need to succeed,” Cammack said.
