Meet Our Principal

I am entering into my 4th year at TPFA and am excited to be a part of a learning community where student achievement and well-being are our top priorities. Every day, our staff is committed to meeting the academic, social, and emotional needs of every student, ensuring that each child is supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential.

We believe that all students can learn and succeed when provided with the right opportunities, support, and high expectations. Our approach is rooted in knowing our students as individuals—understanding their strengths, their goals, and what they need to thrive. Through differentiated instruction, data-driven decisions, and a strong focus on foundational skills, we are building a culture of growth, resilience, and excellence. We were awarded the Momentum Award this past year. This award is given to districts and buildings that have demonstrated outstanding improvement in achievement while also continuing to show growth. Additionally, through our dedication and passion for the growth of our students, TPFA has been recognized as a High Quality Charter School by the Department of Education and Workforce.

We also know that success is a team effort. I encourage you to stay connected, communicate regularly with your child’s teachers, and partner with us as we work together to support your child’s learning journey.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Together, we are making a difference.
