The Palos Verdes Peninsula High School principal and athletics director have been placed on administrative leave. We believe that this has occurred unfairly and unnecessarily. 

There has been no communication to the staff and students of Peninsula High School from the school board or the district on the actions that have taken place. Furthermore, our principal and athletics director were removed for no reason. A walk-on coach at Pen is being investigated and worked with, and their actions have nothing to do with Dr. Kuykendall and Mr. Van Enk. Our principal and athletics director are completely separate from the situation.  

We, as students, have always been taught to stick up for what’s right, and to fight for those who care about us. If you don’t know Dr. Kuykendall and Mr. Van Enk, they care about this school and us, and work hard everyday to make it the loving environment that is Peninsula. We feel very strongly that when someone from our family is treated unfairly, we will do everything in our power to show them our support. 

We do not tolerate abuse of power. We do not tolerate injustice. We do not tolerate the forceful removal of our faculty.      

WE WANT DR. KUYKENDALL AND MR. VAN ENK RETURNED TO CAMPUS IMMEDIATELY.
