Dear Majors and Families,
As I reflect on the past four years of serving as your very proud principal, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Throughout my time here, I have experienced countless moments of joy, achievement, and transformation within our school community. Whether it was seeing a student overcome a challenge they never thought possible, witnessing the bonds of friendship and camaraderie form among our students, or celebrating the successes of our Majors – each experience has left an indelible mark on my heart.
As I prepare to take on new responsibilities and challenges in my new role, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for making my time as principal such a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Thank you for your trust, your support, and your unwavering commitment to our shared vision to ensue EVERY MAJOR ACHIEVES AND THRIVES TOGETHER WITH PURPOSE AND PRIDE!
While I may be leaving as principal, please know that I will always hold each and every one of you close to my heart. I will continue to cheer MVHS on and look forward to seeing many of you at graduation and prom. 😊
