Anette Raichbart is now the assistant principal of our school. She had already been stationed in the district for 11 years. She previously worked at Robertson, American and Thornton.

Raichbart graduated from Mission San Jose High School and moved on to college in hopes of being a teacher. While she was in college, Raichbart had a child and that inspired her to work with children. After she entered the teaching profession, Raichbart wanted to move up to management to have a larger effect on students.

She likes to work with the “at-risk population” because they need the most help. She also endeavors to help the higher-achieving students to make smarter decisions about their futures, especially regarding their college choices.

Although our school has a great student body and staff, Raichbart said she would “like to see more culture-building with kids.” She wants to “increase our academics and really make Washington High School the best in Fremont.”
