Churchill Administration

Principal Kevin Etue

Kristen Quesada, Principal 

I am thrilled to introduce myself as the principal of Churchill High School. Since joining the school as an assistant principal in 2020, and then principal in 2022, I have had the privilege of serving our students, staff, and community. I am committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment where all students can thrive and reach their full potential.

Working with teenagers has been the focus of my entire career, and in addition, I am the proud mom of two grown daughters, myself. My goal is to foster a culture of excellence, where students are encouraged to explore their passions, develop their skills, and become lifelong learners.  I believe every student has strengths, talents, and an aptitude for success. Some of those are obvious, while others are waiting to be discovered, and I am dedicated to providing our students with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.

Churchill High School offers a wide range of academic and extracurricular programs to meet the diverse needs of our students. During each student’s high school experience, I encourage every student to get involved. Being a part of a team- whether that be athletics, arts, clubs, or any other of the many extra-curricular activities we offer at CHS  - allows students to be a part of something special. The benefits include improved academics, making social connections, broadening perspectives, and developing skills and talents- just to name a few. Churchill has something for everyone! Our dedicated staff is committed to providing a comprehensive education that prepares students for college and beyond. 

I am honored to lead the Churchill Charger Nation, and I look forward to working with our students, staff, and community to make our school a place where all feel valued and supported.
