SANTA CLARITA, CA – The William S. Hart Union High School District Governing Board approved the appointment of Vince Ferry as the new Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
Mr. Ferry, an educator in the Hart District for 30 years, will now use that accumulated knowledge in his new position.

From there, Mr. Ferry has served as principal at three Hart District schools, including Saugus High School, Rio Norte Junior High School, and most recently at Castaic High School. He has been recognized by multiple organizations and publications as Principal and Educator of the Year. Mr. Ferry earned both his Bachelor of Arts in History and his Masters of Science in Special Education (and also played football) at the University of Oregon.
"I am happy to announce the appointment of Vince Ferry as our new Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services,” said Superintendent Vierra. “His extensive experience within our district, coupled with a proven track record of strong leadership, innovative thinking, and a deep commitment to student success, makes him an invaluable asset to our team.
