Dear Galileo Students and Families,

Welcome to a new school year, 2023-2024!! I am excited to start my second year as the Principal of Galileo Academy of Science and Technology. We have many plans to make this year special for all of the stakeholders, especially for the students. We will be focusing on the following school initiatives:

Enhancing a Sense of Belonging
Building a Positive School Culture and Climate
Improving School-Home Communication Systems
Proactively Addressing Safety Issues
Starting a 5-year Community Schools Grant Initiative
Expanding the Art Program

These initiatives will not only take some time, but will require all of us to be fully committed to being the agents of change addressing the needs of the entire school community. Galileo is a special space, with over 100 years of traditions and culture. It is our responsibility to not only honor and cherish it; but additionally, to continue to strive to improve the school experience for all.

Here are some important dates:

•Freshman Orientation: Monday, August 14, 1:00-3:00 PM. Students/families meet at the front gate on Francisco Street. Freshman receive their class schedules, tour the school, meet Associate Student Body Leaders, be introduced to the various student organizations, sign up for Fall Sports, and meet Galileo staff.
