Administration
bianca lopez- Principal
Ms. Lopez has 22 years of experience serving as an educator at the elementary, middle, and high school levels within the Santa Paula community. She is deeply committed to supporting students and parents in achieving their academic goals.
Her mission is to work collaboratively with our community resources to bolster Blanchard’s new art academy and partner with behavioral health agencies to ensure the overall well-being of our families. One of her greatest joys is reconnecting with parents who were once her students and forging new relationships to support their children.
She has working experience and knowledge at Blanchard, having taught in a special education classroom, painting the school’s preschool murals, and creating the gardens with the guidance of the former school principal at Blanchard, Mrs. Vanessa Donahue, who is her mentor and friend. She brings a wealth of teaching and counseling experience and unmatched enthusiasm to this role.
Ms. Lopez is excited to celebrate the successes of Blanchard Academy of Visual Arts with the school’s dedicated faculty, staff, parents, and students. She believes that together, they will continue to foster a vibrant and supportive educational environment.
