Hello, my name is Shannon Wrzeski. I am a proud member of the Escondido Community as my family moved here when I was in 3rd grade. I attended Central Elementary, Hidden Valley Middle School and graduated from Orange Glen High School. I have been a part of the Escondido Union School District since 1997: I have taught first through fifth grade, been a School-Based Resource Teacher, Behavior Specialist, and currently I’m working as an Assistant Principal where I went to school!

I am blessed to have an amazing family. I am married to a Middle School Principal (so we have a lot to talk about!). I have an 18 year old son that is in his first year of college and a 15 year old daughter that attends San Pasqual High School! I also have three dogs and a cat that I consider my kids as well. As a family, we love to travel and explore the world. I spend much of my time at my children’s sporting events and love every minute!

I look forward to a WONDERFUL and PRODUCTIVE year with the Raider Family!

My name is Noah Barringer, and I am pleased to serve as your Assistant Principal this school year. I have lived in San Diego for my entire life, growing up in Poway.  I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Human Development from California State University San Marcos.  I also attended CSUSM to obtain a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership.

I have taught and worked in the Escondido Union School District my entire career.  I had the opportunity to teach 7th and 8th grade Science at Bear Valley Middle School for ten years.  While I was a teacher at Bear Valley, I also coached baseball at San Pasqual High School.  In addition to my years as a teacher, I worked at the District Office as a Science Coach.  After serving as a district Science Coach, I have served as an Assistant Principal at Rincon Middle School for the last two years.

When I am not at Hidden Valley, you can find me in the gym, on the baseball field, or enjoying time with my wife, Helene, and two children, Connor (8) and Maya (5).

As a lifelong learner, I hope my efforts will inspire every student at Hidden Valley to reach their full potential.  All of our students will be able to acquire the lifelong knowledge, skills, and values needed to make great contributions to the community and wherever their journey takes them.

Let’s have a great year!
