I'm Kyle Garrity, proud Principal of Peninsula High School. For more than 25 years, I've had the privilege of serving students as a social science teacher, coach, and school administrator. I earned my undergraduate degree from Carroll College (MT), completed a graduate degree in Philosophy and Religion at Harvard University, and received my Ph.D. in Education Policy and Leadership from the University of California at Riverside.
My wife and I are grateful to call the South Bay home, where we've enjoyed becoming part of this incredible community after our two children launched into their own careers in Los Angeles. What I love most about Peninsula High is the people. Our students continually inspire me with their talent and character, while our exceptional teachers and staff create an environment where every student is encouraged to grow and succeed.
Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, live music, spending time outdoors, and cheering on our Panthers. I'm honored to serve this outstanding school community and look forward to partnering with our students, families, and staff for another great year. Please don't hesitate to stop by and say hello!

Hi! I'm Jennifer Panagos, an Associate Principal at Peninsula High School and a proud alum of this incredible community. After graduating from Pen, I went on to earn degrees from UC Berkeley, Pepperdine, and USC, where I completed my EdD. My journey in education has included time as a math teacher at Leuzinger High and an administrator at Norwalk High before returning home to PVPHS.
I’m passionate about fostering a school environment where students and families feel welcomed and connected to all the amazing opportunities available here. As a mom of two boys, I also appreciate working close to home and being actively involved in both my family’s life and our school community.

I’m Dr. Regina Kloes-Corwin, Associate Principal at Peninsula High School, where I have the privilege of overseeing and supporting our Counseling Department and College & Career programs. My educational journey has taken me from Clovis West High School to Beverly Hills High School before finding my home in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District. I earned my bachelor's degree from California State University, Fresno, completed graduate studies at UCLA and UC Berkeley, continued my professional learning through Harvard Business School Online, and earned my doctorate in Educational Leadership from Pepperdine University.
A native of beautiful Monterey County, I have called the South Bay home for nearly 29 years, where I live with my husband. I have two sons—one is a recent graduate of UCLA (Go Bruins!), and the other is attending graduate school at UC Irvine (Zot! Zot!).I am proud to be part of the Panther community and look forward to partnering with our students, families, counselors, teachers, and staff to help every student explore their passions, achieve their goals, and confidently prepare for life after high school.

I'm Ryan Doyle. I grew up in Palos Verdes, attending Lunada Bay Elementary, PVIS, and graduating from Peninsula High School in 2003. I was fortunate to play baseball at Peninsula, then pitch for St. Mary’s College of California, and I still play Sunday League baseball with childhood teammates. I’m thrilled to be back at Peninsula, where I had such a meaningful experience.
After graduating from St. Mary’s with a degree in kinesiology, I began coaching youth sports and training athletes. After earning my teaching credential and a Master’s in Education from National University, I became a PE teacher.
I am married to my wife, Stephanie, and we have three children. We enjoy traveling to Montana and spending time outdoors together. My philosophy for athletics is to create experiences that help students grow as both athletes and citizens. I hope to continue the tradition of Panther athletes being not only competitive but also well-rounded role models in the community. Looking forward to a great year and season — Go Panthers!

Hello! I’m Kimi Hendrick, and I’m thrilled to be in my fourth year as Activities Director at Peninsula High. I have been part of the Peninsula High community for 16 years, including 12 wonderful years teaching dance before stepping into this role. I’ve always been passionate about building school spirit and connection through student life. I earned my BA in English from UC Santa Barbara and my MA in Educational Administration from CSU Dominguez Hills. When I’m not planning pep rallies or campus events, I love hiking, cooking, and visiting my twins in college. I’m proud to help make Peninsula a place where all students feel included and excited to belong.
Kisha Williams, Special Education Chair/TOSA

My name is Kisha Williams, and I have been a special education teacher at Peninsula High School for more than 20 years. Prior to joining Peninsula, I taught for one year in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Before returning to California, I spent seven years teaching special education in Newport News, Virginia.
I am a proud alumna of Hampton University, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Special Education. While teaching in Virginia, I returned to Hampton University to earn a MA in Special Education. Later, while teaching at Peninsula High School, I earned a MA in Educational Leadership and my administrative credential from California State University, Northridge (CSUN).
After seven rewarding years on the East Coast, I decided it was time to return home to Los Angeles to be closer to my family. That decision ultimately led me to Peninsula High School, where I've had the privilege of serving students and families for more than two decades.
Working with my students is the most rewarding part of my career. There is no greater joy than seeing former students return to campus to share their accomplishments, life experiences, and successes. Knowing that I have played even a small role in their journey is incredibly fulfilling.
Outside of the classroom, I enjoy gardening, attending outdoor concerts, comedy shows, and watching NASCAR. I am grateful to be part of the Peninsula High School community and look forward to continuing to support, encourage, and inspire students for many years to come.
