Dr. Christiana Kraus was introduced by Supt. Andrew Pulver as the new Principal at Los Alamitos High School at the April 27 school board meeting.
She replaces Dr. Greg Stone, who came out of retirement last summer to serve as interim Principal, after the surprise resignation of Chris Vlasic to pursue a career in ministry.
Kraus has served 15 years in the Whittier Union High School District as an assistant principal, she taught social sciences, and even coached softball and a national hip hop dance program.
Kraus is currently principal of Paramount High School, the second largest high school in the state. Pulver said Kraus has served in that position for the past five years.
“She is extremely student centered, passionate about the four A’s (academics, athletics, activites and arts) and someone who I think really inspires others to elicit the same commitment and passion.”
Kraus received her undergraduate and Masters degrees from Cal State Dominguez Hills and lives locally with her husband Jose and two children.
