Hello, my name is Melissa Contri, and I am honored to serve as a Principal in the Palmdale School District. I have been a part of the Palmdale School District family for several years, and it has been an enriching experience. I am a native of Southern California and currently reside in Los Angeles County. I grew up in La Verne and attended schools in the Bonita Unified School District. After completing my high school education at Bonita High School, I earned my undergraduate degree in Liberal Studies from the University of La Verne. Later, I pursued my Master's in Secondary Education from the University of Phoenix and completed my Administrative Services Credential from the University of La Verne. I have been working in the field of education for many years now. Before joining the Palmdale School District, I worked at Whitcomb Continuation High School, where I taught 11th and 12th-grade students. This academic year, I am excited to work with the students, families, staff, and the amazing community that makes David G. Millen Magnet Academy an outstanding school.

Hello! My name is Girum Jiru, and I am the assistant principal for David G. Millen magnet school. It is with great enthusiasm and excitement that I joined PSD recently.
My education includes a degree in engineering, a couple of graduate degrees in educational technology, and school administration from CSU, Northridge, and currently, I am a doctoral candidate at GCU. In addition, I hold a clear single subject Math teaching credential, computer literacy supplemental credential, and a clear administrative services credential.
Before my assignment at PSD as an AP, I taught Math for seven years at AVHS, LACOE camp school, and LACHSA. I have worked in various capacities out of the classroom, including Math coach, PBL/RTSA Senior program specialist, LCAP, and Educational Data Coordinator. I served as an AP for LACOE schools for five years before I joined PSD.
My education and experience with students for the past 19 years have shown me that students can succeed in school with support from home and school. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues at DGM and parents in making education meaningful for our students.
It is truly a privilege and honor to become a Trailblazer at David G. Millen!
Sincerely,
Mr. Jiru
