Hey Spartans,

Stauffer Middle School has a proud tradition of excellence, and I am honored to join a community recognized as both an Apple Distinguished School and a California Schools to Watch campus. These distinctions reflect a school that is not only high-performing, but forward-thinking—where innovation, strong instruction, and meaningful student experiences are part of everyday learning. What makes Stauffer special, however, goes beyond recognition. It is the collective commitment of our staff, students, and families to do what’s best for kids and to continuously improve. That foundation is strong, and it positions us well for what’s next.

At Stauffer, we will continue to Level Up with purpose. For me, that means strengthening systems, continuing to build strong relationships, and ensuring every classroom delivers engaging, high-quality instruction for every student. Our Spartans should feel challenged, supported, and connected every day. Whether through rigorous academics or opportunities in band, drama, robotics, AVID, and beyond, we will continue to expand what’s possible for our students. Together, we will build on what makes Stauffer great while pushing ourselves to grow, improve, and take this school to the next level. I am excited to partner with you as part of the Stauffer family because I truly believe that Stauffer has the best to offer!
