Dear Mighty Bulldogs, I am thrilled, humbled and grateful to join the EIS family as your new Superintendent. The school’s rich history, sense of community, and beautiful campus make it an ideal place for learning. I feel very fortunate to be able to serve EIS. As we prepare to kick off a new academic year, I wanted to take a quick moment to say “Hola” and share how honored I feel to be part of such a vibrant and dedicated community. From my very first interactions, I have felt un abrazo fuerte from everyone I have met. It is clear that EIS is a place where values, excellence, and heart come together to shape not only students' minds, but also their character. I am committed to building upon the strong foundation that has already been set and working alongside each of you—students, parents, and faculty. Our synergy will drive EIS forward and we will continue to strive for excellence. As a positive Team, we will ensure that every Bulldog thrives academically, socially, and emotionally. I look forward to getting to know you, hearing your stories, and walking this journey with you—united by our shared purpose, passion and excitement for learning. I am looking forward to an inspiring, and impactful 2025-2026 school year. Let's make it one to remember!

Go Bulldogs!
