Rosa Parks Elementary School Welcomes New Principal
SDSU alumna Carolanne Buguey will lead the SDSU City Heights Collaborative school.
Carolanne Buguey has been named the principal of Rosa Parks Elementary School.
Rosa Parks Elementary School is part of the San Diego State University City Heights Educational Collaborative, a partnership between SDSU, the San Diego Unified School District, the San Diego Educational Association and Price Charities.
“Carolanne has a strong track record for helping schools improve and sustain academic success,” said Ethan Singer, SDSU associate vice president for Academic Affairs.

“I look forward to paving the path to academic excellence in collaboration with the professional learning community and the families of Rosa Parks,” said Buguey.
