Meet Our Principal

I am excited to take on the role of Interim Principal at CPFA. My goal is to work closely with our students and motivate them to reach their full potential. We have a great staff and have established a community focused on the academic success of our students and constantly nurture their development through the Character Education program.

At CPFA we strive to improve student success through rigorous knowledge goals, daily fitness to develop strong minds and bodies. We have established a safe environment and instill daily values that improves the lifeskills for future success.

I value our parents as they partner with us in the education of their children. We strongly believe that all students can be more successful when the family partners with us in their child’s educational journey, which we are proud to be a participant.

We are off to a good start in the 2025-2026 school year and as Interim Principal, I am committed to continued growth and success here at CPFA. Join us as we embark on the fulfillment of our Performance Academy goals to improve the knowledge, strength and values of our students.
