The William S. Hart Union High School District Governing Board has approved Donna Manfredi as the new principal of Golden Oak Adult School, officials said Thursday.
Prior to the announcement, Manfredi has been serving as interim principal at Golden Oak since July, 2020, and has been with the Hart District for nearly 30 years.
The future is bright for adult education with Ms. Manfredi at the Helm,” said Superintendent Mike Kuhlman. “We have already seen the positive impact of her creativity and outstanding organizational skills to increase and improve our offerings to the adult education community. We are pleased that the Board has officially named her as Golden Oak principal.”
Before Golden Oak she was an assistant principal at both West Ranch and Canyon high schools and worked on the Hart District Curriculum Council, according to Hart officials.
She began her career in the Hart District in 1992 as an English teacher at Hart High School before moving to Valencia High School where she taught both English and Theater.
Manfredi also founded the Valencia Theater program and the Valencia Drama Club, according to officials.
At the collegiate level Manfredi served as instructor and director of the summer theater program at the University of La Verne.
She has been named ACSA Co-Administrator of the Year, recipient of the ACSA Leadership Award and the Bravo Award for Outstanding Theater Arts Program, according to officials.
“I am thrilled to continue my work at Golden Oak Adult School, serving the educational and career training needs of adult students of the Santa Clarita Valley,” Manfredi said. “I feel very privileged to support our community in this special way and thank the Board and the Hart District Administration for this opportunity.”
Manfredi earned her BA in Speech Arts and Dramatics from Rutgers University, according to officials.
