McPherson News for August 2, 2020
Message from the Principal, Mrs. Godsey
I am very excited and proud to be joining the McPherson community this year. I am coming to McPherson with almost 20 years of experience in education. I started my career as a Science teacher and have also served as the Assistant Principal at Canyon High School and most recently as the principal of Palmyra Elementary School. Although we can’t meet in person just yet, I am really looking forward to working with all of you throughout the school year. Thank you for taking the time to read the information in the newsletter carefully. If there is ever anything I can do to help or support you, please feel free to contact me at bgodsey@orangeusd.org or 714-997-6384.
