Principal’s Message

It is an honor to serve the ESJ PREP community each day. ESJ PREP is an exciting and positive learning community that prides itself on valuing the voice of stakeholders and creating unique learning opportunities for scholars. I have an unwavering commitment to supporting every stakeholder, and especially our students, in becoming productive change agents who are dedicated to making a positive impact on our school and community.   
Our dynamic faculty and staff members work hard to create an exceptional learning environment for all students. As a result, our school is rising to meet our targeted performance and achievement goals. This year, we are continuing our journey to excellence as our teachers are focusing on creating lessons and supporting students based on each individual need. We recognize the need for students to be able to apply what they are learning in each class to their future careers.  We are building knowledgeable, productive leaders. Leadership begins in the classrooms of our youngest students in fifth grade and culminates in eighth grade when our oldest students take on the responsibility of being the school's student leaders. 
All stakeholders and family members are encouraged to explore our school’s website and social media platforms where you can discover the activities and programs happening in our classrooms and around campus. We also provide numerous opportunities for families to come to campus and join their students in learning and growing. Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can be of any assistance to you as we are all in this together. It is our pleasure to help and to serve to the greatest extent possible.
