From the Principal

 
Welcome to St. Martin School.  I am so blessed to be the principal at this wonderful school.  I have a long history with St. Martin.  I was baptized in the old church in downtown Sunnyvale.  I attended St. Martin School from the first grade through graduation.  In those days, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Wichita lived in the Emmaus house and taught at the school. 
 
I started teaching at St. Martin in 2003 as a long-term sub in the eighth grade. I had taught in the public schools for ten years, primarily at Oak Grove High School in San Jose.  My experience with freshmen students and curriculum helped me adjust to the middle school challenges, and I absolutely loved teaching this fascinating age group.
 
When our previous principal and vice principal announced their retirement, it felt like the natural progression for me to apply for the position.  I am proud to be the first principal at St. Martin who was also a student and teacher here.
 
I have a deep, abiding love for St. Martin School, and I long to see it grow and thrive.  I am dedicated to strengthening the bonds of family and community that will ensure our children receive the best Christ-centered education possible.
 
I invite you to stop in and say “hello” or make a suggestion that will benefit our children.  We are only stewards here, and our primary duty is to leave the place better than we found it.
