It is my pleasure to be the principal of Lowell Elementary School. When I began this job in the summer of 2012, everyone in Phoenix Elementary School District would tell me about their connection to Lowell and what the school meant to them. And, one of the first experiences I had with an enrolling kindergarten student was the parents’ excitement that their son would be able to attend Lowell where they once attended with fond memories of their education. These early experiences inspire me to continue the tradition of excellence established by my predecessors.
