Fairmont Prep Shadow Days
Meet the team at Fairmont Historic Anaheim, experienced, passionate educators who know every student by name and what helps them grow. Our teachers hold advanced degrees and specialized qualifications, but what really sets them apart is how they challenge and support students in every lesson, and guide them, push boundaries, and own their progress.

Ms. Norma Montelongo
Registrar
Dr. Wood began her 21-year tenure at Fairmont teaching middle and high school English. She also served as English Department Chair before assuming the post of Dean of Advanced Studies at the Prep. Dr. Wood has a deep commitment to International Baccalaureate. She taught IB at the Prep and served as the IB Coordinator for many years. She has also helped coordinate and lead IB training for Fairmont International School (FIS) teachers in Beijing and Taipei. In 2011, she joined FIS as its Director of International Education. There, she supported teaching and learning at FIS partner schools across Asia and helped build robust K-12 programs that balance the best of American education in a global context. Throughout her time at FIS, Dr. Wood continued to work closely with many educators at our Orange County campuses, including our Kindergarten Advisory Committee, Fairmont Prep’s Academic Advisory, campus administrators (including Mrs. Lugo and Mrs. Thomas), and Jill Thomas, our on-staff Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She is not only a Fairmont alumna herself, but also the proud stepmom of a Historic Anaheim alumnus who recently graduated from Princeton University. Dr. Wood holds a BA from Wellesley College and an MA and Doctorate from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Mrs Thomas is an innovative, educational leader focused on continuous school improvement efforts with more than two decades of experience working in independent and international schools.
An IB educator, she actively works to build and maintain a strong, learning-centered school community. Mrs Thomas joined Fairmont HAC in 2021.
