San Jacinto Unified School District Superintendent David Pyle announced recent personnel changes that affect three schools. When the San Jacinto Technology Institute was opened at the start of the 2021-2022 school year, Mountain View and Mountain Heights Academy Principal Ken Swanson took on the leadership position.“The long-term goal was to have a full-time principal relieve Mr. Swanson at the appropriate time,” Pyle said. “We were unsure of how many families would show interest in the Tech Institute. Once we approached 500 enrolled students, it triggered our threshold for a full-time principal.”That is when Steve Simpson was considered for the job. At the time, he was serving as an Assistant Principal at San Jacinto High School, which was subsequently filled by Bill Powel
