Assistant Principal Message
Dear North Metro Family,
With great pride and excitement, I join North Metro Academy of Performing Arts as your new Assistant Principal. I look forward to partnering with you to ensure all children are celebrated, supported, and achieved academically. Together, we will maintain our tradition of academic excellence and arts integration, making North Metro a special place to learn.
This marks my 10th year in education. As an educator, I am driven by every student's individual success and growth. I have devoted my career to educating, inspiring, and advocating for students. I am excited to bring my passion, enthusiasm, and experience to cultivate the unique educational programs that North Metro has to offer. I am eager to look, listen, learn, and understand what makes North Metro thrive.
At the heart of my practice is building solid relationships with the staff, students, and families I serve. I look forward to collaborating with each of you to support our sense of community. As your Assistant Principal, I will ensure that all families feel welcome and connected to our school family. Please feel free to contact me by email or phone, which can be accessed on our school website.
