Principal's Message

It is with tremendous gratitude that I join the distinguished Park West High School community as principal for the 2026-2027 academic year. I am honored to begin my first year alongside a school community whose tradition of excellence is clearly evident in its exceptional graduation rate, California Model Continuation High School recognition, six-year WASC accreditation, PBIS Platinum School status, and, most importantly, the individualized care and attention afforded each student every day.

 

We will build upon that foundation by remaining focused upon the whole student. Academically, we will challenge and support each student toward graduation and continued learning. Social-emotionally, we will strive to ensure every student is known and feels valued, supported, and connected. Through our college/career focus, we will provide meaningful pathways that prepare students for postsecondary education, careers, trades and other workforce opportunities beyond high school.

 

The success of Park West has been made possible through the collective dedication of our exceptional staff, students, families, and community partners. Together, we will honor, sustain, and strengthen the tradition of excellence that you have established and continue to advance each day, ensuring that every Wizard has the opportunity to thrive.

 

It is truly a privilege to have the opportunity to be a part of the extraordinary Park West Community.

 

Go Wizards!

 

Your Principal,

Muhammad Abdul-Qawi
