Welcome to Paso Robles High School
Principal's Message
Dear Bearcat Community,
It is a privilege to step into the role of Interim Principal while continuing my work as Athletic Director here at Paso Robles High School. Transitions can bring questions, and that’s completely understandable. But I want to reassure you—our teachers, counselors, coaches, administration, and support staff are the heartbeat of this campus, and they continue their work with the same commitment and care that define PRHS. This school is not led by one person alone; it’s led by a united team of educators who show up every day for our Bearcats, and I’m grateful to continue working alongside them.
Over the coming weeks, my focus will be on maintaining clear communication, strengthening relationships, and supporting students and staff as we move through the semester. You can expect to see the same programs, traditions, and opportunities that make PRHS a place where students grow, succeed, and belong. From academics and arts to CTE pathways and athletics, our commitment to students remains at the center of every decision we make.
If you have questions or concerns, I encourage you to reach out. My door is open, and I’m here to listen, support, and partner with families. I look forward to meeting more of you in the days ahead and celebrating the students who make Paso Robles High School such a vibrant and inspiring community.
Thank you for your trust, and thank you for welcoming me into this role.
Sincerely,
Mike Susank
Interim Principal & Athletic Director
