Letter from Ms. Fonseca
It has been a pleasure to serve as an administrator at Main Street Middle School for the past four years. I still remember working at the old school. I have seen how we have been able to serve our students in our current capacity. I have enjoyed working with the students, staff and parents at Main Street.
I will be transitioning to work as the principal of Jack Francioni Elementary. Mr. Calderon will be the interim principal.
Letter from Mr. Calderon
It is a pleasure to be back! I will be serving as Interim Principal and very much look forward to it. Thanks to Ms. Fonseca for leading the school and for helping me transition (back) at Main Street. We wish her nothing but the best at Jack Franscioni elementary.
It is such a pleasure to see the students' smiling faces every day and to witness their successes. I'm also proud of all the teachers and staff who continue to deliver great services to our deserving students. If it wasn't for the mask wearing, one would think the pandemic is no more.
Going forward, we will celebrate successes, help students be Resourceful, Respectful and Ready to Learn (the three Rs).
Go MS Trojans!
Mr. Calderon
Interim Principal

Ms. Moreno-8th Grade Counselor (Bio in her own words)
My name is Elena Moreno, and I am a School Counselor, What's your superpower?!
I was born and raised in Soledad, CA. I attended Gabilan Elementary, Main Street Middle School Class of 1999, and Soledad High School Class of 2003. I am a first generation college student. I attended California State University Monterey Bay where I earned my Bachelors of Arts in Humanities and Communications in 2008. I also attended San Jose State University where I earned my Masters of Arts in Counselor Education in 2015. I was first hired as an Intern Migrant School Counselor at Everett Alvarez High School in Salinas in 2013. It was an amazing experience, but my goal has always been to serve my community of Soledad. I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to do so while working at Main Street Middle School for the last several years. When I am not working, I am coordinating activities for my 2 year old son, Alfredo Javani. He is a future All Star Athlete and Valedictorian of his class. Happy National School Counseling week to my fellow colleagues! We are the heart of Soledad.
Ms. Carrillo-7th Grade Counselor
Hello! I'm Ms. Ruby Carrillo, and I am currently the 7th grade school counselor at Main Street Middle School.
I grew up in Gonzales, and South Monterey County holds a special place in my heart. I am a first generation college student and was raised in a migrant farm-working family similar to many students. To further my education, I attended UC Santa Cruz and earned my BA in Sociology in 2014. I also attended San Jose State University and graduated with an MA in Counselor Education in 2020. Early on, I worked for the Monterey County Department of Social Services for 7 years, helping families reach self-sufficiency. While this was very rewarding, my passion has always been in education. Fast forward to now...I am grateful to have the opportunity to work directly with students! As a counselor at MSMS, I hope to use my experiences to build connections and help students discover their potential, achieve their goals, and strengthen our community. Happy National School Counseling Week!
