Principal's Message

The Township staff and I would like to welcome you and your child to the 2025-26 school year.  We begin this school year with 50 enthusiastic teachers and support staff, all of whom are excited to be working with your children. Success is accomplished by families and schools working together purposefully, respectfully, and trustingly in the pursuit of educational achievement for your children.

I am honored to be your new principal. I have been an educator in the Simi Valley Unified School District for 25 years. I began my teaching career at Crestview Elementary and had the privilege of being principal at Park View and Vista Elementary. To create the most enriching learning experience for students at Township, I believe in fostering a strong sense of collaboration among students, families, staff, and our wider community. By coming together and sharing our strengths and resources, we can build a supportive foundation that helps every student thrive. I’m excited to grow these relationships and explore new opportunities for meaningful partnerships.

The success of our school is grounded in high expectations, collaboration, and the daily dedication of parents and staff to support student growth—a foundation strengthened by the hard work and commitment of students, families, and staff alike. As we begin this school year, I welcome you to our campus to become an active partner in creating an environment of student growth and development. Opportunities to support your child are available in many different forms from home support of academics and work habits to volunteer opportunities in the classroom and special events. There are many ways to enhance your child’s school experience. I invite you to inquire about new opportunities to be an active participant at Township.

I am looking forward to an amazing school year!
