Sonoma Valley High principal is out after less than one year

After less than one year on the job, Sonoma Valley High School Principal Alberto Solorzano has “decided to pursue opportunities” according to a statement from the school district.

Jessica Hutchinson, a vice principal at SVHS for seven years, was named acting principal for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year.

“Principal Solorzano is committed to assisting Ms. Hutchinson with the transition,” the announcement said. “SVHS and SVUSD will work collaboratively in the coming week to develop and communicate a plan for the 2020/2021 school year.”

Solorzano was hired last May, and began in July. He replaced Justin Mori, who also served only one year.
