Principal's Message

Dear Lobo Families,
I am truly honored and excited to be the Principal of La Mesa Junior. As I step into this role, I want to express my enthusiasm for joining such a collaborative and dedicated community.
 
My journey in education has always been driven by a passion for nurturing student growth, fostering a collaborative environment, and ensuring that every student feels valued and supported. I believe in creating an inclusive and dynamic learning environment where every student can thrive both academically and personally.
 
I am committed to working closely with our talented staff, engaged parents, and most importantly, our amazing students, to continue building on the strong foundation that makes La Mesa a great place to learn and grow. Together, we will focus on enhancing our academic programs, promoting a positive school culture, and encouraging students to reach their full potential.
 
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, ideas, or concerns. I am looking forward to meeting each of you and embarking on this exciting journey together. Let’s make this school year one of growth, achievement, and memorable experiences.
 
Warm regards,
Thomas Flores
