LOS ANGELES—The Board of Regents of Prelacy Armenian Schools announced the appointment of Nazo Apanian as the new principal of Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School.
Apanian was employed at Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School from 1995-2006. During his tenure he served as a teacher, as Armenian Department Chair and as Executive Assistant to the Principal.
Apanian has extensive experience in the fields of instruction and curriculum development, and has a well-rounded understanding of Armenian educational and cultural requirements and needs. Apanian’s educational background includes a Master of Arts degree from the State University of Yerevan in History.
“The Board of Regents highly values Mr. Apanian’s educational background and experience, his educational and instructional philosophy and administrative skills. We are confident that Mr. Apanian will be able to further expand the educational growth of our students. We believe, that with the cooperation and collaboration of the faculty, the School Board, and local and school committees, Mr. Apanian will succeed in continuing the advancement of the Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School and with innovative programs enrich the school’s educational mission” said Board of Regents chairperson Mark Guedikian.
As a former student of Baron Nazo’s at Pilibos and someone who has had the honor of knowing and working with him through his community involvement, I am extremely satisfied to hear of this appointment. He is a worthy replacement to the outgoing principal, Mr. Vicken Yacoubian, and I am confident that Alex Pilibos will continue to excel under Mr. Apanian’s direction.
Wish you ALL success in this new endeavor. Congratulations!
I also have had the enriching experience of being Baron Nazareth’s student at Alex Pilibos. I can honestly say that my Armenian Language/Literature and Armenian History classes were among each school day’s favorites for me. I’m sure the school will find further success and accomplishments under his leadership. Congratulations and all the best!
Congratulations Mr. Apanian.
We wish you the best of luck.
Best Regards,
