Since Sept. 13th, principal’s assistant Pola-Michelle Alas had been working two jobs, one at the district office and one at SHS. Come Oct. 25, she will be leaving the school to work in the business office at the district office full time under the direction of Delores Perley, the Chief Business Officer (CBO). Taking her place will be Alison Montgomery, who has worked as the registrar at Silver Creek High School for the past few years.

Over the course of her five-year tenure here, Alas managed substitute teacher assignments and processed school purchases, coordinated staff meetings and scheduling meetings for current principal Greg Louie and former principal Paul Robinson, in addition to her general office duties.

Her favorite part of working at Saratoga High has been the constant engagement with the student body. 

“I really enjoy the energy. I think our student base is extremely talented and intelligent,” she said. “They are also very respectful to the staff, which we are always grateful for.”
