This week is National Assistant Principals Week! Our assistant principals do so much to make our school run smoothly. Often working behind the scenes, Mr. Pelt and Mrs. Van Noy are the backbone of our campus, balancing administrative responsibilities with a deep commitment to student success.

From managing daily operations to supporting teachers, guiding students, and fostering a positive school culture, Mr. Pelt and Mrs. Van Noy bring their expertise, compassion, and dedication to every corner of the school. Their leadership extends beyond the office, as they tirelessly work to create environments where both students and staff can thrive.

This week our assistant principals received student notes, musical performances, and lots of treats! We appreciate both of you today and every day!
