Lake Elementary School District

Hello Lake Families,

My name is Chris Mothorn and I am honored to be your new Superintendent and Principal.

I come to Lake with 18 years of experience as an educator.  I was a teacher for eight years and have been a school administrator for the past ten years.  Before coming to Lake I served as the Principal of Jackson Jr High School in Amador County where my school was recently recognized as a Distinguished School by the State of California for their improvement in test scores and school climate.  Prior to that I was a Principal in Montana, and an Assistant Principal in Humboldt County and Lassen County.  Before becoming an administrator I taught History at the junior high and high school level.

I grew up in Sacramento, I earned my History degree and teaching credential at CSU Long Beach and my Masters in Educational Administration through CSU Northridge.  I am married with two children and I am very excited for my oldest daughter to attend Lake this year.  

I am ready to get to work building on the tradition of achievement and excellence that Lake has built.

Back to School Night is August 7th

The First day of school is August 8th
