Director of Pupil Personnel & Athletic Director
Dear Students, Families, and Staff,
Welcome back to a new school year! I hope you had a restful and rejuvenating summer and are ready to embrace the opportunities and excitement of the year ahead.
As both the Director of Pupil Personnel and Athletic Director, it is an honor and a privilege to support the success, well-being, and educational journey of every student in our district. I’m also thrilled to welcome our returning student-athletes and to extend a special greeting to those who are joining us for the first time.
Our team has been hard at work preparing for the return of students. From ensuring compliance with enrollment and attendance policies to supporting student services such as counseling, mental health, health services, special education coordination, and more—we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment for all.
This year, we continue to focus on:
- Promoting student engagement and attendance, which are critical to academic success.
- Providing equitable access to services and supports for all learners, especially those who face additional challenges.
- Strengthening our partnerships with families and community organizations to ensure that every student has the support they need to thrive.
Please remember that the Office of Pupil Personnel is here to assist with:
- Student enrollment and registration
- Support services for students facing social, emotional, or academic barriers
- Special education coordination and referrals
Athletics also play a vital role in the overall educational experience, and we are proud to offer programs that help students build teamwork, discipline, leadership, and school spirit. Whether you’re a seasoned varsity athlete, exploring a new sport, or cheering from the stands, there's a place for everyone in our athletic community.
This year, we’re excited to focus on:
- Promoting sportsmanship and character on and off the field
- Fostering a culture of hard work, inclusivity, and resilience
- Supporting the physical, mental, and emotional health of all our athletes
- Encouraging academic excellence alongside athletic achievement
Our coaching staff is committed to helping every student-athlete reach their full potential, both in competition and in the classroom. We’re looking forward to an exciting year of practices, games, tournaments, and school pride.
I encourage all students to get involved—join a team, attend games, or volunteer to support your classmates. Athletics is about more than just sports—it’s about community, connection, and growth. If you have any questions about eligibility, schedules, or athletic requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact my office.
We encourage open communication and welcome your questions, feedback, or concerns at any time. Our shared goal is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed—both in and out of the classroom.
Here’s to a safe, successful, and inspiring school year! Let’s work together to make this year our best yet.
Warm regards, and Let’s go Rockets!
