Principal's Corner

  • “Wildcats Always LEAD The Way”


    Dear Wildcat Family,


    Welcome back to the 2023-2024 school year! I hope you had a fabulous summer and were able to get plenty of well-deserved rest and relaxation.  I am beyond blessed to have the opportunity to lead at such a great place

    and can’t wait to continue on this journey together! As I think about the upcoming year, I’m very excited! We will ALWAYS have the children as our primary focus and hold a true commitment

    to build a strong foundation and prepare our students for lifelong success. 

    Our mission will continue to be: “Wildcats always LEAD the way!” We will Love learning, Excel in all we do, Achieve goals together, and Do what is right!

    A major focus this year will be making our school culture grow even greater through continuing the path to a lighthouse school through the implementation of Leader in Me.

    In addition, we will ensure we are implementing our school-wide expectations through our PBIS system and enable more staff voice by continuing the Collective Leadership Initiative. 

    We have been blessed with the opportunity to be a part of the Arts Now Grant and will be utilizing the arts integration strategies to keep our students engaged and focused!

    All of these efforts will enhance our ability to get our students where they need to be in academics and as a person to be prepared for lifelong success.

  • We believe that every student can succeed and should be held to high expectations with school-wide consistency. 

    As we focus on social and emotional development, we will also provide our students with the knowledge and skills they need to grow and achieve.

    Keep in mind: “High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectations.”~ Charles F. Kettering                                                                                                          

             I am always here for EVERY member of the Wildcat family! Do not hesitate to reach out if we can help you, your student, or your family with anything! Let's LEAD together!!


    Sincerely, 


    T.J. DeVine
