Administration
Courtney Haedrich, Principal
Early Life
I grew up in the Bay Area and graduated from Saint Francis High School in Mountain View, Ca. At an early age I knew I wanted to work with children and was inspired by my former first grade teacher to follow my dream.
Education and Professional Experience
I graduated with a BA in Sociology from UC Santa Barbara. I met my husband in Santa Barbara and followed him back to his hometown of Redding. Upon moving up to Redding, I enrolled in the teacher credentialing program at Simpson University and completed the program in 2004. I taught first and second grade in Cottonwood before moving to Enterprise Elementary School District in 2014. I had the pleasure of being a second grade teacher and an Assistant Principal at Boulder Creek. During my 9 years at Boulder Creek, I completed my Masters of Arts in Education and Administrative Credential from Simpson University in 2016. I feel so fortunate to serve the staff, students, and families here at Alta Mesa as a principal.
Life Outside of School
When I am not working, I love spending time with my family, which includes my husband and two teenage sons. We enjoy everything about being outdoors, going to sporting events, and traveling to new places. I also enjoy cooking, along with cycling and running. We truly live in a beautiful spot. I love exploring the northstate and all the beauty it has to offer.
