Meet Your Principal
"I come to Vista with 34 years of education experience, and with a deep passion for education and a commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse communities and witnessing firsthand the transformative power of education. My experiences have instilled in me a strong belief in the potential of every student and the importance of nurturing their academic and moral development. I firmly believe that a successful school is built upon collaboration, communication, and a shared sense of purpose. I am eager to work closely with our dedicated staff, supportive parents, and engaged students to continue the tradition of excellence that Vista is known for. Together, we will create a vibrant and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive."
