Principal’s Message

Welcome to North Glade Elementary – The Home of the Tigers serving students in PK – 5th Grade. It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome all of our new and returning Tiger families. I look forward to meeting and working collaboratively with each of you as we embark on the 2023-2024 school year – “Anchored in Excellence, Sailing to Greatness”.

As an educator with 25 years of combined classroom and administrative experience, I understand that education at the elementary level is fundamental in building a solid foundation for developing lifelong learners. At NGE, we have a passionate faculty and staff dedicated to preparing each student to meet the challenges of the future through active learning and rigorous instruction to enrich your child’s educational experiences and lead them to their maximum potential.

As principal, I aim to build upon these foundations and strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment while promoting the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual child. I am confident that together we can positively influence our school culture, climate, and student achievement, in line with the vision of our school district and this community.

I look forward to the amazing possibilities of the coming year and the opportunities that lie ahead for our students and this remarkable school – A student Centered, Community Driven, Academically Focused Elementary School with A high standard of education accessible to all.
