Our Team

 

Lorrah Hogue, Principal

Hello Del Rio!

I am so excited to be your principal, and I am looking forward to another amazing year with your students!

I am a long-time Oceanside resident and have two beautiful daughters who also attended OUSD schools.  I have been a proud educator in OUSD for the last 26 years, serving 16 years as an elementary classroom teacher before moving into administration.  I passionately believe in collaborating with students, staff, and families to ensure that ALL students build upon their unique strengths, take risks, fail forward, and work to reach their goals!  We truly are a family here at Del Rio, and our teachers and staff work together to make sure that each student is supported.  Building a strong community, where each student feels connected, safe, and valued is essential.  I also believe that we must maintain high expectations for all students and allow them to set goals for success.  I have a strong background in instruction and what our students need to be successful in school and in life.

I am a proud graduate of both UCSD and CSUSM, and I am excited to continue our work to prepare our students to be college and career ready. Throughout this school year, we will continue to build our college-bound spirit, encourage students to take on leadership roles, and provide each student the support that they need to continue to show progress in reading, writing, and math.

Let's have a great year Vikings!

My door is always open and I welcome your input and feedback!  I believe that partnerships with our families are essential to the success of our students and our school!

Each week, you can expect an update from me via phone call and email regarding the learning adventures of our students, upcoming events, and all of the amazing things happening at Del Rio. 

I also regularly post updates on social media!  I want to share the learning that is happening as I walk through campus, so follow us on 

We are a team and it is important to stay connected, and communicate frequently.  Please let us know how we can support you!

Kelli Mocny, Assistant Principal

Greeting Vikings!

I am excited to join the team at Del Rio STEM Academy!  This is my 26th year in Oceanside where I have served as an elementary Teacher, and Teacher on Special Assignment serving all 14 schools with curriculum, instruction and various projects.  I am excited to be apart of a STEM Magnet School.  I can't wait to see what amazing critical thinking comes out in this journey.

Students are at the heart of what I do.  I believe in building relationships and providing support when we meet challenges.  No problem is too big to figure out a solution together.  I look forward to partnering with you here at Del Rio!
