Principal's Corner

I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Acting Principal of Vicenza Elementary School. After 23 years of teaching across grades PK–5, I know just how important it is for children to feel safe, supported, and excited about learning each day. That’s the kind of environment we work hard to create here at Vicenza ES.

Being part of a military community gives our school a unique strength. The resilience, dedication, and sense of togetherness that your families bring enrich every corner of our campus. Our teachers and staff are committed to providing meaningful learning experiences that help every Cougar Cub grow into confident, capable learners.

I also believe that when families and schools partner, students thrive. Whether through PTSA, the School Advisory Committee, volunteering, or simply keeping up with your child’s daily learning, your involvement makes a lasting impact.

Though we’re a large school, VES still feels like family—and that’s something I’m proud of. I look forward to connecting with you, supporting our students, and celebrating all the great things to come this year.

Together, we’ll keep helping our Cougar Cubs shine—one step at a time.

In partnership,

Jennifer Castro

Acting Principal, Vicenza Elementary School
