Dear Parents and Guardians of GCMS,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year, Guadalupe Centers Middle School Family! Beginning my second year as your principal, I am more excited than ever to continue our journey from the excellent foundation you put in place this past year. Growing, working together, and showing dedication to the success of every student is what our mission is about in this community. At GCMS, we strongly believe that creating strong relationships among parents, students, and staff is essential for an effective educational environment. All of our efforts focus on the success and welfare of our students. 

We will focus on empowering student agency and creating an inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued and supported. We intend to do this by harnessing dynamic and exciting learning experiences that will ignite in our students a passion for learning that will carry throughout life.

I am committed to giving our students the most varied, rich learning experiences possible. Through the development of a growth mindset and the harnessing of individual talents, we shall help our students achieve their fullest potential. This year, we continue to emphasize academic excellence, character development, and overall growth. We are devoted to helping our students attain academic success and become reflective practitioners with the capacity to adapt and succeed in a dynamic world.

I am also excited to introduce and welcome our new staff members who are joining us this year. Fresh perspectives and experiences will certainly make a great contribution to our school community. We look forward to providing opportunities for you to meet our new team members, hear about their journeys, and listen to the exciting plans they have for our students. The relationships between parents, the community, and our school are valued. Your help and involvement are key to our students' success. Please come and participate in the activities of the school, work in partnership with us, and share ideas and goals for our school. Together, let's start this new school year with enthusiasm and determination and jointly work toward building a better future for our children.

I am really looking forward to what lies ahead and to meeting you all in person. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time if you have questions or concerns. I am here to listen and support all the amazing work taking place in our GCMS community. Let's make the 2024-2025 school year one of fantastic successes that will serve as an example of excellence, guiding students' lives for years to come.
