Greetings MPHS Parents!
August 1, 2018
I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself as the new Principal of Manassas Park High School. I started in early July and I have been working hard to get up to speed for this upcoming school year. During the past three weeks, I have had the pleasure of meeting with nearly fifty high school faculty. I can tell you that I am impressed with their passion and energy for what they do. Your children are so lucky to have such a dedicated and committed staff.
I come to MPHS after having worked fifteen years at Manassas Park Middle School as a school counselor, assistant principal, and principal. During that time, I have had the fortune of meeting many of you and I have a deep affinity for the community of Manassas Park. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to continue to work with the families of Manassas Park and to build on a strong foundation that has been laid at MPHS.
I have included important dates and upcoming information below. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing many of you soon and to welcoming your children back to school on Monday, August 27th.
All the best,
Principal Pam Kalso
