Hello! I’m Kyle Garrity, proud Principal of PVPHS. I’ve worked in education for 25 years, starting my career as a social science teacher and coach before stepping into leadership roles. Originally from Montana, I earned my undergraduate degree from Carroll College and later completed graduate studies at Harvard University and a PhD in Education Policy from UC Riverside.
My wife and I moved to the South Bay after our two children launched into college and careers in LA. We’re animal lovers, music enthusiasts, and avid travelers. Recent trips include Ireland and South Africa. I’m thrilled to be part of the Panther community and look forward to an amazing school year ahead. Please don’t hesitate to 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.
