Hello Socorro Consolidated Schools Staff, Families, and Community!
It is with great pleasure and excitement that I write this letter of introduction to you as your new Superintendent. I am truly honored and humbled to be joining Socorro Consolidated Schools, especially as this is a special place for my family, with my husband having grown up here. I am incredibly excited to become a part of this community. I believe that by working together, we can provide the best possible educational experience for our students.
I have been, and will always be, a strong advocate for ALL students, educators, and families. To do this successfully, my goal is to visit schools and classrooms regularly to learn more about the ways that I can best support Socorro Consolidated School's path to excellence. I will maintain a policy of open and honest communication. I want to see first-hand the great things happening and learn about the strengths and needs of our schools.
I'm committed to fostering a positive and strong culture through supportive relationships, collaboration, transparency, safety, and high expectations. This will be a culture that paves the way for unprecedented success for our district and community and making Socorro Consolidated Schools a district that families flock to.
I look forward to working with all stakeholders to ensure we are educating the Whole Child. This holistic approach includes focusing on student outcomes, ensuring safe and positive learning environments, attending to students' social and emotional well-being, providing strong support systems, and being intentional about connections to the community that provide
enrichment opportunities for our students.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the warm welcome I received at my visits to our three elementary schools, and our middle and high schools during my first few days here. Over the next few weeks, I plan to continue visiting schools and meeting with staff, board members, and community representatives to learn as much as I can about our district and community. This is a priority for me, as I'm eager to fully understand and become a part of Socorro. Please don't hesitate to say hello if you see me around - I'd love to meet you!
