It is with great excitement that I welcome you to William Mendenhall Middle School. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such wonderful students, an extremely dedicated staff, and a supportive school community.

I have been dedicated to the field of education for more than twenty years. During this time, I have worked with students at both the middle school and high school levels in a variety of roles. My experience includes being a middle school 7th and 8th grade CORE teacher, a middle and high school technology teacher, a District Technology Integration Specialist, and a Vice Principal at Christiansen Middle School, Livermore High School, and Del Valle Continuation High School. Most recently, I served as the Principal of Del Valle Continuation High School. I am thrilled to bring my skills as an educational leader to Mendenhall Middle School and to work with you as an educational partner.

On a personal note, I have lived in Livermore for the past twenty years. My wife, Dayna Taylor, is also a principal in the LVJUSD, serving at Rancho Elementary School. Both of our sons have attended and graduated from Livermore schools, with our oldest being a proud graduate of Mendenhall Middle School. We love Livermore and cherish all that this wonderful community has to offer.

I look forward to a successful school year and to working together to support our students' growth and achievements.

Hey Mendenhall families! I am Garrett Fitch, thrilled to be back at Mendenhall Middle School for year two! With 13 years in education as a Math Teacher and Administrator, creating a positive learning space is my priority. I am a family man with a wonderful wife and three kiddos bringing joy to my life every day. Let's make this year awesome as we work together to help all of our kiddos navigate what I think are the most important years in their educational career.
