Introduction

Dear Piedmont Middle School Families, 
 
My name is Greg Barnes, and I have the privilege of being Principal of Piedmont Middle School. We are exited to begin another year at Piedmont and thrilled to welcome you as part of the BUSD family. 
 
I've been in public education for 26 years and bring many site and district leadership experiences. I started my career as a 7th-grade science teacher before graduating into a site leadership role. I spent the better half of a decade collaborating with students, staff, and parents in curriculum development, social-emotional learning, and work centered around diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. My district leadership experience allowed me to expand the work I'm passionate about while meeting the needs of individual school communities. 
 
Berryessa Union School District is a close-knit community. The district's commitment to collaboration and camaraderie, along with its high-quality academic program, has drawn talented and dedicated staff. Many exciting things are happening in the academic, social, and cultural spheres of public education, and I'm excited to be a part of it on an intimate level. 
 
We have a lot of exciting things happening this year at Piedmont, and we welcome you to be a part of it. Please consider joining our PTSA, as well as our monthly Principals' Coffees to stay informed. Please be sure to sign up for Parent Square to receive weekly updates of everything happening on campus.
