Rotary Club of Fillmore Meets New FHS Principal Keith Derrick
By Gazette Staff Writers — Thursday, August 4th, 2022
(l-r) Keith Derrick with Rotary Vice President Andy Klittich. Keith Derrick is the new Fillmore High School Principal and was last week’s Rotary speaker. Derrick grew up in Arcadia, and baseball was his passion. He played for several years and had hoped to play professionally, but injuries dashed that hope. He began working at baseball camp and coaching kids, and realized education was what he wanted. He loves a small community and small school and when he became a principal that was where he wanted to be. Some of his goals for Fillmore High are to build quality relationships with the staff and students. He wants each student to have a trusting person on campus they can go to for advice, and he wants everyone to know what is happening on campus and how they can get involved. He hopes to advance academics, support athletics and promote art, music, and clubs, etc. Photo credit Rotarian Martha Richardson. |
