Two Principals Rise to District Leadership | Santa Fe News
Description
Santa Fe Public Schools just pulled off a major leadership shuffle, promoting two principals to assistant superintendent roles — Christopher Lopez to HR and Systems, and Erica Martinez-Maestas to Educational Services and Innovation. Both had recently pledged to lead transformative changes at their schools: Lopez spearheaded Gonzales as a “school of innovation,” while Martinez-Maestas was merging Chaparral Elementary with E.J. Martinez Elementary after safety concerns forced a relocation. Now, Lopez’s former assistant, Emily Bell, takes over Gonzales; and Leslie Prada, a longtime Chaparral educator, steps in to lead the newly consolidated elementary. Martinez-Maestas’s vision for community unity — including a career exploration event — now extends beyond the classroom, as she rises to shape district-wide innovation.
