“We are excited to welcome Julianne Hoefer to Ocean View and our leadership team,” said Dr. Carol Hansen, Superintendent. “Over the past several years, our instructional and professional development programs have expanded, grown stronger, and become increasingly innovative to meet the needs of our Ocean View families and provide more choice. Dr. Hoefer will play a key role in helping us to continue this forward momentum as we plan for the next decade in OVSD.”
A resident of nearby Seal Beach, Dr. Hoefer has been a California educator for more than 25 years, serving as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal in the Anaheim Elementary School District from 1992 until 2008, when she moved to a new elementary principalship in the Fountain Valley School District.

I look forward to developing relationships with Ocean View’s stakeholders in our relentless pursuit of excellence.”
