Principal's Welcome Message

Hello Vaca Peña Families,

Welcome to Vaca Peña Middle School. Vaca Peña has a long-standing commitment to supporting students during the important and often challenging middle school years. I have been part of the Vaca Peña community for many years, first as a teacher and now as its principal, and during that time I have had the opportunity to see generations of Panthers grow, learn, and move on to success in high school and beyond.

Middle school is a time of exploration, growth, and change. At Vaca Peña, our focus is on providing a welcoming, supportive, and engaging learning environment where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our staff is deeply committed to our students and works intentionally to help students build strong academic foundations, develop positive relationships, and learn the skills they need to be successful.

We value our partnership with families and appreciate your continued support as we work together to ensure every Panther feels supported, challenged, and ready for what comes next.
