Melissa Gurreonero has taken over as principal of Coconut Creek High School.
She has just assumed the duties of running the large high school and is eager to meet the teachers and students.
Gurreonero comes to Coconut Creek from administrative positions in which she coached Broward school principals. Most recently, she served as Director of Teaching and Learning for the North Regional Office. Before that, she was principal of Forest Glen Middle School.
“I believe in servant leadership, and I will listen to students and teachers. I want Coconut Creek High to connect to the community. I want to build a high standard of excellence and learning,” said Gurreonero.
She wants the school to be a positive place where students can receive a high-quality education and also participate in clubs, music groups, and athletic teams.
“I want our athletic teams to do well, and I want this school to be a place where teachers will want to come to work every morning, and students will want to come here and learn,” said Gurreonero.
Dr. Nicole Nearor, the former Coconut Creek High principal, left Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) to take a leadership position in Texas. She joined the Fort Worth Independent School District as an executive director, and now works under former BCPS Superintendent Peter Licata, according to BCPS information.
