Principal
Palo Verde has always been home for it’s principal. A member of the graduating class of 1995, Eric Brock has served Palo Verde as the girl’s varsity basketball coach, magnet coordinator, assistant principal and many year now, as principal. Committed to opening doors for his students, Eric Brock believes that graduates of Palo Verde are the next generations lawyers, doctors, business owners, and executives. When asked what it means to be a Titan, he says, “That the blue and gold coursing through my veins is burning to show anyone that will bear witness the resolve, tenacity, and determination instilled in me from this great school. Palo Verde is our home; it’s where we come from and we will be successful because we simply want it more then you!”
Along with the dedicated faculty and staff, he continues to work on establishing a legacy of success by building strong relationships with parents, student, staff and the community in order to provide the best possible opportunities for his students. He works tirelessly to have Palo Verde strengthen and enhance the skills, knowledge and critical thinking abilities of it’s students in a clean, safe, and technology-rich environment. As principal of PV, Mr. Brock welcomes your input and asks for your help in this journey. “I am looking forward to working with you and your student now and in the future!”
