A Message from our Principal

May 5, 2023

Dear Families, Staff and Community,

With mixed emotions and full of anticipation, I am announcing my retirement from CityLab. My last official day as principal will be the end of the school year. I will miss the relationships I have made with students, families, staff and community members. I am so proud of the accomplishments of this school and the impact we have all made on our beautiful city and students. The time has come for me to spend time with my now 13 grandchildren and be their “Bella “ full time. I look forward to this time in my life and know the district and next principal of CityLab will continue the good work this community of learners and dreamers have started.

Fondest Regards,

Principal Smith
