Principal's Message
Greetings, Brighton Families,
I am truly honored and excited to have been selected as the new Principal for the Brighton family. I bring with me a rich background in education, encompassing years of experience as a classroom teacher and a dedicated reading coach. These roles have allowed me to witness firsthand the transformative power of education and the profound impact it has on the lives of students and families.
In my journey as an educator, administrator, and a parent, I have come to deeply understand the pivotal role that family engagement plays in a student's academic success. I firmly believe that when families and schools collaborate closely, students thrive. I am committed to fostering an open and transparent line of communication between our school and the families we serve. Together, we can create an environment where parents feel valued as essential partners in their children's education.
Finally, community involvement is integral to the success of any school. I am dedicated to forging strong ties with our local community, partnering with organizations, businesses, and individuals to create a support network that enhances the educational experience of our students. Through community engagement, we can provide enriching opportunities that extend beyond the classroom and empower our students to become active, responsible citizens.
I am thrilled to embark on this journey as your Principal and look forward to collaborating with all stakeholders to create an exceptional learning environment for our students. Together, we will inspire growth, foster excellence, and celebrate achievements.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Heather Neal
Principal
