Amazing Falcon Family,

     It is with great honor and humility that I get to serve as the next Principal of Colton Middle School. I would like to encourage you all and share a little part of my story with you. Although teaching is my passion, my purpose and call is to build incredible teams to foster and create powerful outcomes for ALL FALCONS-scholars, Staffulty (certificated/classified), and families alike. As a husband to an awesome wife and father to six amazing children, I am a byproduct of a divine blessing that came from selfless and caring teachers and Merchants of Hope.

     I grew up in a one-bedroom apartment with three brothers, two sisters, and I never thought it was possible to achieve greatness until I came across teachers. The Merchants of Hope that impacted my life were Mrs. Nordstrom, Mrs. Williams, and Mr. Swimely of Webster Middle School in Stockton California. Their daily words, professionalism, and actions showed me that I WAS MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH. Their collective beliefs in me divinely set my course and sparked my internal fire to pursue a life marked by positively impacting others in education.

     I have been blessed to serve as a teacher for ten years. My teaching career revolved around teaching at a Fair Valley Continuation High School. Additionally, I had the honor of teaching Math, PE, and Coaching High School Football. I served as Assistant Principal for four and half years, and an Elementary Principal for seven years.

     Falcons and all of our Falcon Staffulty (Certificated/Classified), families, and community-my family and I are excited for our future and what WE will build together. Our best is yet to come! Please join me this year and let’s climb together by building positive relationships with ALL stakeholders and strengthening our dynamic teams to yield HIGH OUTCOMES FOR ALL!!!

May you be reminded today and every day that you are more than good enough. Let’s climb, Falcons!!

Houn P. Hib, Ed. D.

Dear Falcon Families, 

It is with great enthusiasm and gratitude that I write this letter of introduction as the new Assistant Principal of Colton Middle School. I am truly honored to have been offered the opportunity to serve our Falcon families.  I look forward to joining the Falcon community and supporting Dr. Hibb as we work together to foster a positive school culture centered on supporting all students to achieve their personal and academic bests.

During my eleven years with the Corona-Norco Unified School District, I have served as a Department Chair for the AP Capstone Program and lead social science teacher for the Umoja Program. Both programs emphasized culturally informed instructional practices to improve student engagement and academic proficiencies amongst our traditionally underserved students. During this time, I also served as a Varsity Girls Basketball Coach and Teacher on Special Assignment, coordinating the afterschool programs across our district.

My educational background includes studying adolescent psychology while earning a B.A. in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Human Resources Design. After attaining my Single Subject Credential in both biological sciences and social sciences I began working across various grade levels in the secondary setting.

My experiences as a coach, educator and life long learner have all helped inspire my decision to become an administrator as I am motivated to serve my community and strive to make a positive impact on those around me. Diversity, inclusion and leading with empathy are all pillars of my own educational philosophy and I am committed to ensuring educational equity for all students and creating a school wide environment in which students feel welcomed and enjoy a sense of belonging on campus.

I believe in the mantra that “it takes a village” to truly nurture a child’s personal and academic growth and as such I look forward to working closely with parents, teachers, students and all other school leaders on our campus to best support our students’ needs. My office doors are always open and I look forward to meeting you. Las puertas de mi oficina están siempre abiertas y me dará mucho gusto conocerlos. Therefore, in closing, it is my distinct pleasure to join the Falcon family as we collaborate throughout the school year. Go Falcons!!!!
