It is with great enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the new
principal of Brown Elementary School. My name
is Andrea Samodurov, and I am thrilled to be joining
the Roseville City School District and the wonderful Brown
Elementary community.
As I complete my 20th year in education, I reflect with gratitude
on the experiences that have shaped my journey. I hold a
bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Idaho and a
master’s degree in School Administration from California State
University, San Bernardino. Over the years, I’ve had the
privilege of serving in a variety of roles including teacher,
coach, Athletic Director, Activity Director, and Assistant
Principal. Each of these roles has deepened my understanding of
the diverse needs of students, families, and school communities,
and they have strengthened my commitment to supporting every
learner’s growth and success.
On a personal note, I am a proud mother of three adult children
all of whom graduated from the Roseville Joint Union High School
District. I am also a grandmother to two wonderful grandchildren
whom I absolutely adore. Outside of my professional life, I am an
avid skier and love spending time outdoors and in
nature—activities that help keep me grounded and inspired.
I am honored to lead Brown Elementary, a school with a strong
tradition of excellence and community spirit. My goal is to build
on that foundation by fostering an inclusive, supportive, and
engaging environment where all students feel valued, empowered,
and excited to learn. I am committed to partnering with our
exceptional staff, families, and community to ensure that every
student thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.
I believe wholeheartedly in the power of open communication and
collaboration. Families play a vital role in a child’s education,
and I encourage you to stay actively involved in our school
community. Together, we can create meaningful and memorable
educational experiences for our students.
As we head into the summer months, I hope you and your families
enjoy a season of rest, joy, and connection. I am truly excited
to begin this journey with you and look forward to meeting each
and every one of you in the fall.
Warmly,
Andrea Samodurov
Principal
Brown Elementary School
