Message from the Principal:
I am excited to welcome our new families to the 2022-2023 school year. It is an honor and privilege to serve as Principal of such a wonderful school. The entire Panther Faculty and Staff are eagerly looking forward to partnering with our families to help each child reach their highest potential.
I believe that building strong relationships between school and family are key factors in increasing student achievement. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you over the course of the school year.
Please continue to visit our website as we add new information and features to connect with students, staff, teachers, parents, and the community.
ALWAYS SOAR!
