The Queen Creek Unified School District (QCUSD) Governing Board approved the hiring of Queen Creek High School's new principal for the 2022-2023 school year at a special session March 22.
Dr. Adam Wolfe, current principal at Valley Vista High School in Peoria, is a familiar face as he was the former principal at Queen Creek Junior High School.
"I am excited to be returning to Queen Creek and for the opportunity to work with our Bulldog students, staff and parents/guardians," Wolfe said. "I am grateful to be partnering with each of you on this journey as we foster a culture of achievement where all students are provided with an opportunity to achieve at the highest level."
QCUSD officials said Wolfe has 16 years of public education experience and previously worked as an assistant principal, high school teacher and instructional coach.
"Queen Creek High School has a rich tradition of success in their academics, athletics and arts programs," Wolfe said. "Together, I look forward to continuing to build on this rich history while also creating new experiences and memories for our Bulldog family. Queen Creek has an extremely supportive community and I am sincerely excited to be returning and look forward to working with each of you."
In his spare time, he enjoys playing golf, skiing, traveling and spending time with his wife and two daughters.
QCUSD Superintendent Dr. Perry Berry said "we feel very fortunate to have (Wolfe) take over...and will strive for a smooth transition since many of the families already know Adam."
Berry added that he has no doubt Wolfe will bring positive change to Queen Creek High and expressed his appreciation for outgoing principal Julie Oster.
"We're thankful for all that Mrs. Oster has done for this district and students," he said.
