Hello, I am Dr. Anne Roundy-Harter

I am very proud to be the principal of DATA!

I have been principal at this school since 2006.

Our school is a safe, nurturing place of learning where we hold students to high standards.

Our staff is collaborative and professional; we strive to meet the needs of all children.

Our staff is highly trained. DATA staff members continually develop through workshops, conferences, and formal education programs.We have been trained in AVID techniques, how to support English Learners, teaching the gifted, and using technology in the curriculum, as well as attending subject-matter training in areas such as science, math, music, language arts, and special education.

I believe that each child is most successful when supported by school, home, and community. Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of the children in our care.

Tidbits About Me

In Spring of 2010, I completed my Ed.D. (Doctorate of Education) in Educational Leadership at California Lutheran University. I am an adjunct professor for CLU, teaching in the Master's program for Educational Leadership.

I've earned an M.Ed. from UCSB and an M.A. in Educational Administration from California State University Northridge

I earned a BA in English from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB)

My educational career began as a teacher at Buena High School. I taught English, Creative Writing, and World Studies, a team-taught course for 10th grade students that combined English and History.

I believe in the transformative power of education!

I enjoy reading, listening to music (and singing along),watching movies, dancing, practicing yoga, and visiting with family and friends.

I love to travel with my husband, David. We have been to several different countries and almost all of the major Hawaiian islands

Did you know? I was a student here in Ventura Unified School District. I attended Loma Vista, Anacapa, and Ventura High School.
