After twenty-three days as your principal I would like to share some observations about our school (s) here at 555 Portola. On any given day you can hear and see diverse, artistic, and energetic interactions between students and teachers as they grow in their understanding of their art and one another. I am impressed with the level of mutual respect, tolerance, and caring that I see among our students. In these times where newspaper headlines seem to focus on student violence and the general problems of adolescence, our students appear genuinely kind to one another and concerned about their future and the possibilities it holds as they prepare for life after high school.
