A Message from Superintendent Vanden Heuvel - HUSD S...

PRESS RELEASE May 31, 2024   HUSD Selects New HHS Principal   After an exhaustive search and interview process, the Healdsburg Unified School District is pleased to announce the selection of Mr. Tait Danhausen as the new Principal for Healdsburg High School.    Mr. Danhausen comes to HUSD by way of Nashville, Tennessee, where he has served as a secondary principal and school administrator for Lead Public Schools for the last 14 years.  Mr. Danhausen will be coming full circle in his educational career, as he was raised in Healdsburg and graduated from Healdsburg High School in 1998. As a student at HHS, he participated in drama, competed in track, tennis and cross country, where he was part of the 1997 Sonoma County League Championship team (coached by current HHS teacher and Cross Country coach Mike Efram). Education is also part of his family’s local legacy as his grandparents both taught in HUSD for many years and his mother served as a teacher in the nearby Mark West District.  Mr. Danhausen holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of California, San Diego in Political Science, an Master’s in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Long Island University, and a Doctorate in Learning Organizations and Strategic Change from Lipscomb University. He is an expert teacher of English Language Development, having taught in New York City public schools and in Oakland through the KIPP system. As a Principal in Nashville, he was able to transform two middle schools from being identified by the state as low performing to high performing. For the last few years, he has been the lead administrator over several middle schools, supervising their principals. Colleagues share that he is a gifted instructional coach, and an effective community builder with students, parents and staff who consistently supports students, helping them reach high levels of success.  Mr. Danhausen sought out the HHS Principal position exclusively as he felt a calling to return to and serve the community that invested so much in him, and we are very excited to welcome him back! Once a Hound, always a Hound!

A Message from Superintendent Vanden Heuvel

HEALDSBURG UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT October 23, 2022 Dear HUSD Families, As Halloween and the holiday season approach, I am excited to share important changes that are allowing us to transition out of pandemic practices back to more normal operation of our schools. Know that we are in close communication with County and State agencies and will continue to follow their guidance. That said, it is a relief in many ways to relax some of the practices that have been instituted over the past 3 years.  Given recent updates, we have reviewed the District’s COVID-19 Safety Plan (COVID-19 Prevention Program and Guidance Checklist) and amended the plans accordingly. The following changes were brought forward to the Board of Trustees at the October 19, 2022 Board Meeting and approved: KEY CHANGES FOR FAMILIES:              Exposure Notifications: Beginning Monday, October 24, 2022 HUSD will no longer notify families of a potential exposure to a positive case. This was relaxed in an earlier CDPH update during the summer, but HUSD chose to begin the 2022-2023 school year by continuing to notify families. Now that the school year is well underway, staff believe it is no longer necessary. Student Testing: Students who are experiencing COVID symptoms but do not have COVID can return to school without showing a negative test result once they feel better. Students who have recovered from COVID will still need to provide a negative test result to return. Volunteers/Visitors: Must sign in at the front office and are strongly encouraged to wear a mask on campus. However, they are no longer required to show proof of vaccination or a negative test. Finally,  please be aware that we have ordered home kits for families and staff for Thanksgiving break. More information about how these kits will be distributed will be available in the next few weeks.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding these changes or our COVID-19 safety precautions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your school’s principal.
