Principal Briano

James Briano

It is truly an honor to serve as the Principal of El Camino High School. My journey at this incredible institution began in 2015,  when I joined as the Assistant Principal of Guidance and Counseling. In 2022, I assumed the role of Principal.
 
From a young age, education has been a passion and a calling. My grandmother and Aunt, who both taught in Bay Area high schools, inspired me to pursue a career in public education. At El Camino High School, I am committed to fostering an environment that values intellectual curiosity, personal growth, and a deep sense of community.

As an educational leader, I believe in being actively involved in our community. Whether it's attending performances with my family, cheering on our athletic teams, getting my hands dirty at campus beautification events, or simply engaging in meaningful conversations with our learners, I endeavor to build strong connections with all stakeholders.
  
I invite you to join us at El Camino High School, where we are dedicated to shaping a brighter and promising future for all individuals. Together, we will make a positive impact on the lives of our students. To that end, I invite all stakeholders to get involved with the PTSA—start by joining here, then pop into a monthly online meeting.
 
Looking forward,
Signature of James Briano
