Mr. Allardice has served as Nystrom principal since the 2015/16 school year.  During that time, no school in West Contra Costa -- district or charter -- has showed more combined growth on SBAC (ELA and Math) than Nystrom.  He enjoys spending his time on the basketball court with students, and supporting staff and students.  Prior to Nystrom, he served as a Vice Principal and taught at Peres Elementary in WCCUSD and middle school in Compton, Ca.  

When not at school he enjoys spending time camping with his family and riding his bike.
