Mr. cromwell

It gives me great pleasure to serve as the Principal of Oak View High School. My name is Kent Cromwell and this is my fourth year at Oak View. This school is an amazing place!

I began my career in education as a Continuation High School teacher in 1998, after graduating from Sonoma State University. Although I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley (Woodland Hills), I chose to remain in Sonoma County to begin my career. I was a teacher for 7 years and then moved into administration. I have been a site principal at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. My true passion is alternative education.

My intentions were always to return to Southern California. Four years ago I learned about this fantastic Oak View High School program and decided that it was time to make the move back home. That was the best decision that I ever made. I love being here and being part of this wonderful school and district!

In my spare time I like to be outdoors. I enjoy hiking, surfing, mountain biking, off-roading, skiing, and pretty much anything that gets me moving. I also like to travel. During the summer of 2019, I was able to visit Rome, Florence, Venice, Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam. I am always looking for new and exciting things to do and places to go, so if you have any ideas, let me know!
