Dear Kennedy Community,

I am honored to serve as the principal of Kennedy Elementary and excited to partner with you in fostering a learning environment where every child thrives. With 18 years in education, I have served in multiple roles, including classroom teacher (K-5), Special Education Resource Teacher, Instructional Coach, RTI Coordinator, Assistant Principal, and Interim Principal. My passion for academic excellence, community engagement, and student success drives my leadership.

At Kennedy Elementary, we are committed to providing high-quality instruction, a safe and nurturing environment, and strong partnerships with families. We believe that when parents, teachers, and the community work together, our students achieve greatness.

This year, we will focus on academic achievement, student engagement, and building a high-performance school culture. I encourage all families to stay connected, participate in school events, and support their child’s learning journey.

Please check this page regularly for updates, celebrations, and important school information. If you ever have any questions or ideas, feel free to reach out—I look forward to working together to make Kennedy Elementary the best place for our students to learn and grow!

With gratitude,

Maria L. Garza
