I’m so excited to begin my first full year as principal of East Perry Elementary School! Having taught in this building years ago, stepping back into these halls truly feels like coming home. Over the past several months, I’ve had the chance to get to know our students, staff, and families and I couldn’t be more proud of the work happening in our school!

As we head into a new school year, my goal is simple: to make sure every student feels supported, challenged, and proud of what they accomplish. We have incredibly hardworking staff and amazing students and I have high expectations for all of us - including myself. I’m a big believer in doing what’s best for kids, keeping communication open, and creating a school environment where everyone feels welcome.

Families, thank you for sharing your children with us. Your trust and partnership mean so much, and I’m looking forward to working together to make this a fantastic year. I can’t wait to see what our students achieve and how much they grow!

Here’s to a great school year at East Perry - let’s make it our best one yet!
