PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear Thornton Fractional Center for Academics and Technology and Thornton Fractional Center for Alternative Learning Students, Families, Staff, and Community,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year!
I am truly honored and excited to introduce myself as the Principal of Thornton Fractional Center for Academics and Technology and Thornton Fractional Center for Alternative Learning. Beginning a new school year always brings excitement, fresh opportunities, and a chance to continue growing together. I look forward to getting to know our students, families, staff, and the traditions that make TF Center a special place.
Throughout my career in education, one thing has remained constant; students are at the heart of every decision we make. Every student has a story, a goal, and a future filled with possibilities. My commitment is to ensure that our students feel supported, encouraged, and prepared for whatever comes next after high school.
At the Center for Academics and Technology, students have the opportunity to explore their interests, develop new skills, and connect what they learn in the classroom to their future goals. At the Center for Alternative Learning, we are committed to providing students with the support, structure, and encouragement needed to continue moving forward and achieving success. No two students have the exact same journey, and our responsibility is to meet students where they are while helping them reach their fullest potential.
As your principal, building relationships will be one of my highest priorities. I believe the strongest schools are built through teamwork, trust, and open communication between students, families, staff, and the community. I look forward to listening, learning, celebrating our successes, and working together as we continue to create meaningful opportunities for our students.
I am excited for all that we will accomplish together during the 2026–2027 school year. Thank you for welcoming me into the TF Center family. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve this school community and support the success of each student who walks through our doors.
Let’s have a great year!
