Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) announced the appointment of Jeffrey C. Bauer, Ed.D., as principal of Daniel Webster Elementary School. Bauer replaces long time principal Sharon Lefler, who retired at the end of the 2011-2012 school year.
“I am pleased to welcome Dr. Bauer to Webster Elementary and to PUSD,” said PUSD Superintendent Jon R. Gundry. “He brings a collaborative leadership style, solid academic credentials and more than 20 years of experience as an educator of students from diverse backgrounds.”
Born and raised in Akron, Ohio, Bauer joins PUSD from Orange County Public Schools in Orlando, Florida where he most recently served as principal of Castle Creek Elementary School. He was assistant principal of William Frangus Elementary from 2002-2006 and promoted to principal in January 2007. He began his teaching career in Central Florida at Deerwood Elementary as a fourth grade teacher of English learners.
“I am truly honored to be the new principal of Webster Elementary and will work to build upon the school’s long tradition of academic excellence for all students,” said Bauer. “My goal is to ensure that all Webster students are learning and successful in school.”
Bauer earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from the University of Akron, OH and earned a master’s and doctorate in education specializing in educational leadership from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Inspired to become a teacher by his parents, family and teachers, Bauer enjoys traveling and spending time with his family and friends in his spare time. He will assume his duties at Webster on August 16, 2012.
