The William S. Hart Union High School District’s Governing Board has approved the appointment of Eran Zeevi to become the new principal of Bowman High School, replacing the retiring Robin Geissler.

Eran Zeevi, Bowman High School’s new principal.

The school’s assistant principal the last six years, Zeevi has been with the Hart School District since 2004 and in education since 1993.

With a BA in Psychology, an MS in Counseling with an emphasis on School Psychology, and an MA in Educational Administration, the Governing Board felt Zeevi was uniquely positioned to become the school’s new principal.

“Bowman is an extraordinary school providing opportunities for students who have had academic challenges at their comprehensive sites,” Zeevi said. “We will help them succeed, graduate, and develop post-secondary pathways, and I feel so very fortunate to lead this wonderful school that provides second chances.”

Under Geissler’s and Zeevi’s leadership, Bowman High School has been named a Model Continuation High School by the California Department of Education five years in a row.

Bowman was “recognized for operating innovative academic programs that help prepare at-risk students for 21st-century careers and college.”
