The Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) has appointed Dr. Issaic Gates as the district’s new executive director of personnel services. Gates previously worked as a teacher, principal and district executive. He served as the principal of San Marino High School, the executive director of the Inglewood Unified School District and most recently, the assistant superintendent of human resources and deputy superintendent of human resources at Placentia Yorba-Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD).
In his remarks welcoming Gates, BHUSD Superintendent Dr. Alex Cherniss said that the two men have known each other for 10 years, beginning when Cherniss, then the superintendent of the San Marino Unified School District, hired Gates to serve as the principal of San Marino High School. Under Gates’ leadership, the school became the number one academically achieving high school in California for three consecutive years.
