About me
Dr. Fabi Bagula, Superintendent for the San Diego Unified School District, advances dynamic, large-scale change initiatives that improve outcomes for students and educators in public TK-12 systems. Her bicultural upbringing and experiences on the San Diego border have informed and guided her widely respected and visionary work. Dr. Fabi Bagula is the first Latina – and only the third woman – to serve as Superintendent of the San Diego Unified School District, the second largest in California. While proud of this distinction, she recognizes the responsibility to drive systemic change, so students see themselves represented in the classroom and in leadership. As a teacher, teacher coach, principal, assistant superintendent, executive leadership coach, senior director of equity, deputy superintendent, and now as superintendent, Dr. Bagula consistently gains and maintains the trust of her students, colleagues, and community.
