Dr. Barbara Wilson, new Superintendent of Schools for the Pittsburg Unified School District, has spent her entire career in education and came to Pittsburg in July from the Jefferson School District in Daly City.  She is thrilled to be here and sees a lot of optimism in the community.  Many changes are underway with a new elementary and middle school opening in August 2007 and a new high school in the works.  The current high school will be torn down and a new one built with the main entrance on Harbor.  It will then become a closed campus.  She received her Ph.D. at Berkeley, loves to travel, has visited numerous countries, has a vacation/retirement home in Lake Chapala, Mexico, and has three children.  Her daughter was recently married in Napa, son graduated from UC Berkeley and another son at UC Davis.
