MEET THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL
I’ve always had a love for learning and teaching. When I was a child, I could be found teaching my stuffed animals and pets to play “school.” I’ve tried to lead by example, acknowledge, and learn from my mistakes, be honest, have integrity, and work for my success. It has been my honor and pleasure to be an educator and serve students and families from Pacoima to Santa Paula and in between. I am proud to say that this year will be my 25th year in education and I’m happy to be spending it with my NACP family.

Education and being a life long learner is very near and dear to my heart. I hope that I have or will be able to support you on your journey to success.
Inspirational Video of the Week
In Community ISD, we were recently inspired by a video created by Mr. Henry of El Dorado High School (you can watch that video here: https://youtu.be/fFaJdBq78lc) showing what it looks like when teachers tell students they are important and inspiring. Realizing the power of intentionally speaking life into young people, we wanted to give some of our teachers and students the same experience. We want to challenge educators everywhere to take time today to do the same thing. Start a movement. Tell a young person that you BELIEVE in them!
At NACP, We Believe in YOU!!!
