Argonaut High School will have a familiar face in the principal’s office next school year after the retirement of current principal, Peggy Gardner. The Amador County Unified School District announced the appointment of Dave Vicari as the principal of Argonaut High beginning in the 07-08 school year. According to the release this will allow Vicari and Gardner to work together for a seamless transition. Vicari is currently a popular principal at Jackson Junior High School and a graduate of Jackson High School as well. His ties with his Alma Mater, now called Argonaut High School have remained close, both as a parent and the former head coach of the Varsity baseball team. He will continue as principal at the Junior High School for the remainder of the year.
