Parents,
It is my honor and pleasure to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year! I hope you all have had a relaxing and fun summer break. I am extremely proud to serve as the assistant principal of this amazing school and to continue to support the students at Dr. Phillips ES! This new school year brings the promise of a renewed dedication, focus, and energy to the mission of teaching and learning.

I would like to welcome all of our new families, whether you are joining us from another school in the district or have relocated from another city, state, or country. We are excited to share all that Dr. Phillips has to offer with you and believe you will soon feel as we do, that DPES is a special place for all children. Our teachers, support staff, and families are ready to welcome you into our Eagle family.
