After teaching children for over thirty years, I became a Principal. Many friends and colleagues were surprised that I chose a new path. They often asked,"... but won't you miss the children?" There was no need to be concerned! I have the ultimate opportunity to be with children every day! Better yet, I lead and create the vision for what and how they learn. This gives me a great sense of deep joy. But make no mistake, I know your child's education is serious business.
    Here at Our Lady of Guadalupe School we are, first and foremost, a Catholic community of faith. We operate under the authority of the Diocese of Orange and Bishop Brown. We plan Religion classes using the 2011 published standards from the Diocesan Office of Faith Formation.
    Our academic programs are Standards based and in keeping with all Diocesan guidelines. Teachers are now studying the California Common Core Standards in alignment with the new National Standards. These curriculum expectations are rigorous and move all students toward "college and career readiness." In addition, we embrace the whole child as a unique creation of God. Our Lady of Guadalupe has an Inclusion Program with Student Support Services for teachers and students. This allows us to address any needs that a particular child may have. We pace and map our goals and disaggregate all standardized test results to address areas for curricular growth. Algebra One and elective programs offer older students the chance to gain skills for accelerated placement in High School! P.E., Music, Technology and Art Masters touch the body and soul of all of our students. They help make OLG graduates well accepted at all local high schools.
    I never stop teaching and learning. Each day, I teach teachers, help students, and guide parents. My job is truly a call and a gift!
