Welcome to Cage Elementary!

I’m honored to serve as the proud principal of Cage Elementary, where we are committed to achieving excellence together.

I believe that collaboration and open communication are the cornerstones of a thriving school community. At Cage, we work as a team—educators, families, and students—to create a supportive environment where every child can succeed.

When I’m not at school, I enjoy cheering on my son at soccer games, swimming, and spending time with my dog, Ninja Warrior.

 

Let’s make it a great year!

•  As the Assistant Principal of Cage Elementary, I have the unique honor of serving the very community that shaped me—I’m a proud former Cage   student myself. My journey in education began in the classroom, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep passion for supporting students,   teachers, and families in meaningful ways. I believe in creating a school culture where every child feels safe, valued, and challenged to reach their   full potential. I’m committed to fostering strong relationships, promoting academic excellence, and ensuring that our campus remains a place   where both students and staff can thrive.

 Cage is more than just a school to me—it’s home.
