Principal's Message

Dear Central Elementary Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I am honored and excited to continue serving as the proud principal of Central Elementary School—home of the Ponies. Our school is a vibrant learning community where students are celebrated, diversity is embraced, and academic excellence is our daily pursuit.

At Central, we believe every child has the ability to thrive, grow, and succeed. As a Dual Immersion School, we are proud to nurture bilingual and biliterate scholars while fostering cultural appreciation and global awareness. Our dedicated staff works hard to ensure every classroom is a space where curiosity is encouraged, challenges are embraced, and learning is meaningful.

We are committed to partnering with you—our parents and caregivers—to ensure our students feel safe, supported, and inspired every day. Whether it’s through ROCK assemblies, student celebrations, or classroom engagement, we recognize the importance of family and community in each child’s success.

Let’s make this school year one to remember—filled with growth, connection, and Pony pride!

Sincerely,

Ileana Gutierrez Ed.D.
Principal
Central Elementary School
