Our Principal & Assistant Principal
Dear Neil Armstrong Families and Students,I’m so honored to be serving as Principal of Neil Armstrong Elementary School. Growing up in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District, I was lucky to attend our amazing schools from Kindergarten through 12th grade (Country Club, Pine Valley, Cal High). After earning my degree and teaching credential at San Diego State University, I returned to SRVUSD to begin my career—right where my love for learning began.
For 16 wonderful years, I taught Kindergarten at Quail Run Elementary before going back to school to earn my Administrative Credential and Master’s in Applied School Leadership. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Assistant Principal at Quail Run Elementary, Del Amigo High School, Venture Independent Study, and now here at Neil Armstrong. This is a truly special community, and it’s an honor to be part of it.
I live in Livermore with my husband, Mike, and our two daughters, Corrinne (13) and Nora (10). When I’m not at school, you can usually find me on a softball or soccer field, cheering on my girls, because their sports schedule has happily taken over our lives!
I’m looking forward to another wonderful year of learning, growth, and connection with all of you. Together, we make Neil Armstrong a place where every student can soar.
Best Regards,
Karen Johnson
Principal
Neil Armstrong Elementary School
