Susan Wiles introduces herself as new Hermosa Beach superintendent
Summary
Susan Wiles, who said she earned a doctorate from UCLA and has lived in the South Bay since 2010, introduced herself as the new superintendent and emphasized a strategic, community-focused approach to education.
Susan Wiles introduced herself as the new superintendent of the Hermosa Beach City School District during brief remarks to the community. She said she and her family have been residents of the South Bay since 2010 and that she is "very excited to be the new superintendent" of the district.
Wiles, who said she grew up near Washington, D.C., attended the College of William and Mary, taught in Virginia and earned her doctorate from UCLA, emphasized a strategic approach to improvement. She said she has "a strength in strategically looking at what works and what areas we need to work on and how we get there and to get real outcomes," and highlighted the district’s "small town feel" as a chance to craft specialized educational opportunities for students and families.
Wiles also referenced her family ties to the area, saying her husband, Brad, and their 17-year-old twin daughters — both seniors at Redondo Union High School — have been part of local life since the family moved to the region. She closed by noting strong community support for the schools: "I have yet to meet 1 person who doesn't tell me how much they love this school district."
