Dr. Kathleen Clark is the principal of the California Academy of Mathematics and Science (CAMS), a four-year comprehensive high school, located on the campus of CSUDH. The high school is an educational partnership between the CSUDH, CSU, Long Beach Unified School District and ten other Los Angeles Basin school districts. As the founding principal of CAMS, Dr. Clark has managed the high school since it opened in 1990. Under her leadership, CAMS has raised over $12 million in private support for its innovative programs, including more than $5 million for new facilities. The CAMS facilities, completed in 2001, have been recognized for educational design excellence by The American School and University Magazine. CAMS is currently constructing a technology building which includes several engineering labs and computer labs. The project is slated for completion in the spring of 2007.
Under Dr. Clark’s direction, CAMS has received numerous awards and acknowledgements. In 2004, the high school was recognized as a California Distinguished School, and in 2005 as a National Blue Ribbon High School. CAMS was featured in the U.S. Department of Education’s newsletter, The Achiever (5/05). The high school was also featured on the U.S. Department of Education’s syndicated news program, Education News, Parents Can Use, (09/05).
