It is such an honor to introduce myself as the new principal of Gulf Gate Elementary. I am delighted to have the opportunity to serve our students, families, community, and staff as we learn together, grow together, and succeed together. Whether you are new to our school community or have a Gulf Gate history, I welcome you to this amazing place of learning and belonging.

Although I have only been here a short time, it is obvious to me that Gulf Gate is a school that values tradition, family, and community. As your principal, I will respect and honor the contributions of Principal Robin Magac and her years of service to our school family. Using that as a foundation, I will bring my own gifts, talents, and love to Gulf Gate. Together we will bridge the past and the future to make a fabulous place to learn and grow as a school family.

The work that is done daily at our school by both staff and students cannot be done alone. We are so thankful for our families, Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), volunteers, and community members who support this important work in a variety of ways. Please consider supporting our students and staff by signing up to volunteer as a member of our School Advisory Committee (SAC), becoming a school volunteer, joining our PTO, and/or becoming a Business Partner.

We are already hard at work planning for our new year. This year our tiger students will work hard to earn their stripes each day by being a STARR. This is our school wide Positive Behavior Support reminder to be "Safe, Timely, Active Learners, Responsible and Respectful" always. Our staff will work together to help students earn their stripes by providing a safe and loving environment and a high-quality education. Together we will have an amazing year!
