Meet Julia Groff, Twain Associate Principal
Dear Twain High School Students, Parents, Teachers, Staff, and Community,
Welcome to the 2022-23 school year! Each fall we have an opportunity to start off the new academic year with fresh hopes and the chance to reach new heights as we set goals and strive to reach our full potential. There will always be challenges ahead of us, but it is important to recognize that those challenges give us a chance to build character, to learn, and to grow. I hope that each of us will be able to help one another be successful in achieving our goals.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I have been an educator with San Diego Unified for 27 years. My first school assignment was at Jackson Elementary in City Heights. After six years I transferred to Roosevelt Middle School. In 2013, I had the great privilege to become Dean of Students at San Diego High School. I am a San Diego native and graduated from Point Loma High and San Diego State. I am also a National Board Certified Teacher in ESL.
I believe that with a positive attitude, a growth mindset, and good character anyone can achieve great things. I strive to instill those qualities in students. We are all here to learn together. It is my goal to provide a safe and nurturing educational environment that challenges our students to reach beyond their expectations to become lifelong learners who will make the world a better place.
I am excited about the possibilities that this school year will bring and proud to be part of the Twain community. Let’s have a great 2022-2023!
Stay positive and stay strong,
Julia Groff, Associate Principal
