PRINCIPAL JOHNSON'S MESSAGE
Welcome Patriots,
It is my pleasure to serve this fantastic community in the capacity of building leader and principal. Our focus is "Always Kids First!" We are committed to uplifting our students and letting them know that they are intelligent, talented, and capable of obtaining success in life!
As we plan for the beginning of another year, our focus will still be to ensure that:
Every child, Every day is finding a way to feel connected,
Every child, Every day is being challenged by new learnings and experiences,
and Every child, Every day knows they have a champion they can turn to.
This school year, Sweetwater will be embracing the theme “BElieve in the Team”. School culture is an essential ingredient for student academic success. Working together as administrators, teachers, parents, and students, we can create an environment where excellence becomes not only expected but also irrefutable.
I, along with my administrators and staff, are committed to ensuring a successful and safe year for all of our Sweetwater students! Know that tomorrows are not promised, but are fantastic when they arrive.
