Principal: Melissa Gordon
It is an honor to introduce myself as the acting principal of West Orange High School. I have been dedicated to the field of education for more than sixteen years; all with Orange County Public Schools. I have worked with a variety of grades ranging from K-12th grade. Most recently I worked as the Senior Administrator for the High School Office and was instrumental in increasing all of the high schools' graduation and career readiness rates. I have served as an Assistant Principal of Instruction at Boone High School and as the Assistant Principal of Hunter's Creek Elementary School. I grew up in State College Pennsylvania and attended Shippensburg University for my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I am also a two time University of Central Florida graduate with a Master's Degree in TESOL and a Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership.
To the West Orange students, I have already enjoyed meeting some of you and look forward to meeting many more in the near future. I can assure you that I share in this school community’s commitment to caring for your children each and every day while providing them a world-class learning environment.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Melissa Gordon
