Leading a campus requires courage, clarity, and compassion—and this year’s Principal of the Year, Dr. Emily Flores, has demonstrated all three in abundance. Dr. Adams commended Dr. Flores for transforming challenges into opportunities, building a campus culture centered on excellence and equity, and championing every student’s potential. Through tireless advocacy, data-driven leadership, and a people-first approach, Dr. Flores continues to shape a thriving school community and inspire future leaders across our district.
