William Truong

William, who goes by Will, is the child of Vietnamese immigrants and is grateful for opportunities to successfully lead wherever life takes him. In his free time, he enjoys staying active with his dog and exploring different restaurants, especially food trucks. Before becoming the assistant principal at Valencia, Will was a student and then taught at the school. In these various roles over the last two decades, Will has developed a deeper level of ownership and care for his school community.

Will believes that in a world that is changing at an increasingly rapid rate, education must adapt to support and help all students be successful. As a leader, he works hard to not allow obstacles, barriers and anxiety to prevent meaningful actions and empower others to take risks. As an educator Scholar he is, “excited to support Amanda as we launch our Community Change Project and am hoping to learn and be inspired by the talented students and educators who are part of the program.”
