Assistant Principal's Message

Welcome Ladera Palma Families,

My name is Carrie Kim, and I am honored to serve as your Assistant Principal. This is my third year as an A.P., and I am truly blessed to be part of the Ladera Palma community.

With over 26 years in education, I have served in roles ranging from classroom teacher to program coordinator and education specialist, including work with Title I, English Learner, UTK, Dual Immersion, and International Baccalaureate programs. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to supporting students, staff, and families in La Habra City School District.

At Ladera Palma, I am deeply committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and academically rich environment where every child can thrive. I am especially proud to support our Spanish Dual Immersion program, which nurtures bilingualism, biliteracy, and cultural appreciation for our students. Serving the students, working alongside our dedicated staff, and partnering with parents truly brings me joy. I want every family to know that their child is in good hands and that our collective goal is to make Ladera Palma the very best school it can be.

I look forward to working together with all of you in support of our students’ success.

With gratitude,

Mrs. Carrie Kim
Assistant Principal
