Principal

A New Year, A New Beginning!

I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year and join the Circle View family as your principal. It is an honor to come back home, having been raised in Huntington Beach and attended Star View, Vista View, and Ocean View High School. With a true understanding of this community coupled with my diverse experiences, I am privileged to lead Circle View's dynamic learning environment. There truly is no place like home!

This is the start of my 27th year in education. I have served diverse programs including GATE and music education, taught at every grade level, and for the past seven years served as an administrator. I am committed to student achievement and have dedicated myself to nurturing a love for learning and meeting the needs of each individual student.

As a parent myself, I understand the importance of a strong partnership between home and school and am deeply invested in your child's social, emotional, and academic needs. Please know that I value the vital role that parents play in their child's education and that together, we will cultivate a culture of excellence where everyone feels heard.

I am here to support you and your child every step of the way! Please reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or suggestions you may have. Your input is invaluable, and I am intent on fostering open communication and collaboration to make certain that every student is successful.

Thank you for entrusting me to lead Circle View Elementary School and the incredible team of educators and staff that serve you every day. As we embark on this journey together, I look forward to a year filled with endless possibilities!

With gratitude,

Julie Ernst
