The staff and I welcome each of you to the 2025/26 school year. Santiago Hills continues to be a wonderful example of what can happen when educators, parents, and the community work together in the best interest of children. For our students and families who are new to Santiago Hills, I warmly welcome you. For those returning, I know we all share the excitement of beginning another school year together.
As I begin my fourth year here at Santiago Hills, I am reminded daily of the tremendous pride that fills this special place we call our neighborhood school. Students and staff continue to show me why they love Santiago Hills so much, and it is clear that when we work together, we bring out the best in one another and in all of our students. We are a school family that believes in being Ready, Respectful, and Responsible.
Each time I arrive at school, I feel a genuine sense of excitement, and I hope the same is true for all of you. I often say, “Together, we can make great things happen.” I look forward to all that we will accomplish this year as individuals, as grade levels, and as a school. We are a community of learners who care for ourselves and for one another. On behalf of the entire Santiago Hills staff, thank you for all that you do. We are eager to continue making the most of every day together.
Please know my door is always open. If you ever have questions or ideas to share, I encourage you to reach out. This is going to be an amazing school year thanks to the dedication and spirit of this community.
Sincerely,
Thomas Potwora
