News from the Principal

Welcome to the 2007-2008 school year. I am very excited about starting my third year as the k-5 elementary principal here at the La Porte City Elementary Building. I am looking forward to building on the last few year’s successes. This will be my seventeenth year in education and my seventh year as an elementary principal. Our goal is to make this building an interesting, exciting, challenging, and fun place for our students. The safety and learning of our students are our top priorities. I feel with our teachers, parents, and students all working together, this will be another successful year in the educational development of our children.
