Florence-Carlton Falcon Families: 

I am excited to start another great year as your Florence-Carlton Middle School Principal! This will be my eighth year at Florence-Carlton. This will mark my third year serving as the Middle School Principal,  I had the pleasure of teaching in the middle school for three years before serving as the district's assistant principal and facilities director.

I'm looking forward to serving our wonderful students, dedicated staff, and supportive school community.  My door is always open, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. It is my goal to keep communication open and positive in order to continue providing the best learning environment for students.

Dress Code Reminder
 Though the weather hasn’t quite warmed up yet, we want to remind students and families that the school dress code will be enforced. Please ensure students are wearing appropriate attire, as outlined in the Middle School Handbook.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
