Prior to joining DCPS, Ms. Young served as the principal of Youth Chance High School, an alternative high school in San Francisco, California, from 2009-2014. She began her career as an academic advisor in Fresno, California and has served students at the elementary, secondary, and post-secondary levels as a teacher, academic counselor, vice principal, and college counselor. With instructional leadership experience in both California and DC, Ms. Young has been able to be at the helm of student achievement and community building in the charter and public school sectors.
