Principal's Message

Hello Peters 4-6 Panthers!

My name is Steve Yoon and I am the new principal for the 2021-2022 school year. I am excited to be a part of the Peters 4-6 family and I'm looking forward to supporting our students, parents, teachers, and staff as we navigate through this upcoming school year.

Just to share a little about myself, this is my 19th year in education and my 10th year working as an administrator here in GGUSD. I served as an assistant principal at Jordan Intermediate, Rancho Alamitos High School, and Pacifica High School. I will use my background in secondary education to best prepare our students for success both at the elementary and secondary level.

Lastly, as we continue to receive safety guidelines and updates from the CDPH and the District Office, information will be shared with you on our school website and the ParentSquare app. Should you need assistance or support, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Let's start the new school year with a ROAR!

Sincerely,

Steve Yoon, EdD

Principal

The monthly awards are given to those students who go above and beyond to demonstrate the character trait of the month.
