Dear Pasadena High School Families,

I hope your summer provided time to rest, reconnect, and create meaningful memories with family and friends. As we prepare to begin another exciting year at Pasadena High School, I want to welcome our returning Eagle families and those joining our community for the first time.
This year marks my 17th year serving Pasadena High School. Pasadena High School has been my home for nearly two decades, and it remains an incredible honor to lead a campus and community that mean so much to me.
I remain committed to leading with heart, purpose, consistency, and partnership while ensuring that every student has access to the support and opportunities needed to succeed.

Our Vision for 2026–2027

At Pasadena High School, we believe education is about more than earning credits, passing assessments, or receiving a diploma.
We are working to create a school where every student feels known, every family feels valued, and every staff member understands the important role they play in helping our Eagles succeed. Our work is grounded in the values of Courage, Responsibility, and Respect.

Our theme for this year is Gain Altitude: Strengthening Systems to Help Every Eagle Experience Success.
