Dear Lincoln Families,

My name is Mark Asher and I am fortunate to be the new principal of Lincoln. I have served most of my 20 years in education in the neighboring Pleasant Valley School District in Camarillo as a teacher, counselor, assistant principal and principal. I have enjoyed my last 8 years as an elementary school principal and I look forward to joining the Lincoln family.

Educationally, I earned a Bachelors Degree in History at UCSB (Go Gauchos!). I earned a Masters Degree in School Counseling from California Lutheran University. Additionally, I possess a Single Subject Teaching Credential, Pupil Personnel Services Credential, and an Administrative Services Credential. I have treasured my own educational journey, and I hope to share my love for learning with our students and families at Lincoln.

I live in Ventura with my wife, Danielle, and my three daughters--Ella (14), Emery (12) and Evryn (7).

I am thoroughly excited to meet everyone and I look forward to the opportunity to serve the wonderful Lincoln community. Do not hesitate to reach out anytime should you have any questions, comments, or concerns. My email is Mark.Asher@venturausd.org. Our school phone number is (805) 641-5348.

Go Dragons!

Mark Asher, Principal
