I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits as we gear up for an exciting new academic year at Jefferson High School.

My name is Jessica Luna, and I am honored to serve as the new interim principal of our exceptional school. As we embark on the 2023-24 school year, I wanted to take a moment to share with you my vision and goals for our school. My overarching objective is to foster an inclusive and nurturing learning environment that empowers every student to achieve their full potential. I firmly believe that each and every student has unique talents and strengths, and it is our responsibility to provide them with the tools and support they need to thrive academically and socially.

To achieve this, I am committed to:

1. Academic Excellence: Our students deserve the best education possible. I will work closely with our exceptional teaching staff to provide a rigorous and engaging curriculum. We will foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills to equip our students with the knowledge and abilities they need to succeed in their future endeavors.

2. Student Well-being: The well-being of our students is of paramount importance. I will prioritize creating a safe and inclusive school environment where every student feels valued, respected, and supported. We will implement proactive measures to promote positive mental health and encourage a strong sense of belonging within our school community.

3. Parent and Community Engagement: I believe in the power of collaboration and partnership. By fostering open lines of communication, involving parents in their children’s education, and encouraging community involvement, we can create a robust support network that enhances student success.

4. Professional Growth: As an educational leader, I am committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement. I will provide ongoing professional development opportunities for our staff, ensuring they have the necessary tools and resources to deliver high-quality instruction. By nurturing their growth and recognizing their expertise, we will create a dynamic learning community that benefits both staff and students.

I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for us. I encourage you to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have. My door is always open, and I am here to listen, support, and collaborate with you.

I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you and working together to make the 2023-24 school year a truly remarkable one.

Warmest regards,

Jessica Luna
