Next year, Dean of Students Fred Wolfgramm will be leaving Burlingame to become the Vice Principal of Peninsula High School.
Once a Burlingame student himself, Wolfgramm returned to his old stomping grounds 10 years ago to take the position of dean of students.
“Having the opportunity to work with all the students here over the last ten years has been wonderful and I feel fortunate and blessed to have had the opportunity to do that,” Wolfgramm said. “I don’t know many people that can say they went back to their old high school to do what I do.”
“What I’m going to miss most is driving to a place that I enjoy working at, with it’s beautiful surroundings and wonderful people, and just coming to an environment which I feel is a great place for everyone to get their work done,” Wolfgramm said
