Dear McGowen Community,

Welcome back to another incredible year at McGowen Elementary! As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, I want to celebrate the growth and achievements we made together last year. We’ve made meaningful strides in academic success, student well-being, and school culture. As we embark on a new year together, I am reminded of the incredible partnership we share with our students, families, staff, and community. Together, we create the foundation for an exceptional learning experience where every child can thrive.

This year, we will continue the journey with renewed focus, high expectations, and a deep commitment to excellence for every child. Together, we will build on our progress and ensure that every student is equipped to thrive.

I look forward to working with each of you as we support our students, uphold our shared values, and move forward with purpose. Let’s make 2025–2026 a year of continued growth, collaboration, and success!

With great pride,
Dr. Ada Whyte
Principal, McGowen Elementary
