Discovering the Extraordinary!

I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year. It is an honor to be “home,” having been raised in Huntington Beach and having attended Star View, Vista View, and Ocean View High School. With a deep connection to this community and a broad range of educational experiences, I am privileged to lead Circle View’s dynamic learning environment. There truly is no place like home!

This marks the beginning of my 29th year in education. Over the years, I’ve served in a variety of programs, including GATE and music education, taught every grade level, and spent the past eight years as an administrator. I am deeply committed to student achievement and passionate about nurturing a love of learning while meeting the needs of every individual student.

As a parent myself, I understand the importance of a strong partnership between home and school. I am deeply invested in your child’s academic, social, and emotional development. Please know that I value the essential role parents play in their child’s education, and together, we will continue to cultivate a culture of excellence where all voices are heard and valued.

I am here to support you and your child every step of the way! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas you’d like to share. Your input is truly valued, and I am committed to maintaining open communication and a collaborative spirit to ensure every student thrives.

Thank you for entrusting me with the leadership of Circle View Elementary School and the remarkable team of educators and staff who serve your family each day. I look forward to a year of growth, joy, endless possibilities, and something truly EXTRAORDINARY!

With gratitude,
Julie Ernst
