July 2025~

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! 

Being selected as PUHSD’s next Superintendent is an honor and a privilege, and I am excited to kick off the year listening, learning, and celebrating what makes this District so special.   The enormity of this responsibility is not something that I take lightly, and I am committed to dedicating my full energy and passion to fulfilling our shared mission of “student learning by providing teaching excellence in a supportive environment.”

Throughout these next few months, I will be visiting our schools, meeting with all of our valued staff, and collaborating with students and families to ensure that our District continues to focus on student learning, facility needs, and maintaining financial stability. If you see me out and about, please feel free to say hello and introduce yourself!

Regardless of the work we as District employees do, we cannot be 100% successful without the involvement of you–our District families and community members.  Your participation is critical to the success of our students and programs, and we truly value your support.

As we embark on this journey together, I promise to be transparent, approachable, and open-minded. In doing so, we can cultivate a sense of unity and purpose that will propel our school communities forward. Let us work hand in hand to create a nurturing and innovative educational experience that not only meets the needs of our students today but also prepares them for the challenges of tomorrow.

Looking forward to working together to make this school year one of growth, achievement, and joy for all of our PUHSD communities.

Thank you,

Tom O’Malley

Superintendent
