Principal's Corner

Dear Students, Families and Community Members

It is my pleasure to welcome you to a new year.  I look forward to continue to meet and work with the students and the parents of this wonderful school.

DoDEA Schools has a long tradition of being committed to academic excellence as well as the development of each student. These commitments will continue to ensure that all students achieve their potential. In my 20+ years as an educator, I have never seen a school that offers a more diverse curriculum or a greater variety of extracurricular activities. 

My experience has shown me that it takes a team to help students reach their full potential. One goal I have for this school year is to help build and support the strongest possible partnership with parents and community members. I encourage you to join the PTA, make contact with your child's teachers, frequently, check DSIS and talk to your child about their school day. Also, know that my door is always open and that you are more than welcome to come to the school to discuss successes and challenges.

Welcome to a new school year.
