A Message from Our Principal

Dear Plum Canyon Families and Community,

I am both humbled and honored to serve as the principal of Plum Canyon Elementary School. It is a true privilege to lead a school community that values collaboration, celebrates diversity, and is dedicated to the growth and success of every student.

At Plum Canyon, our mission is clear: we are committed to “Unlocking Success” for all students. This means creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child is seen, heard, and challenged to reach their full potential. Together, we will recognize and nurture the unique strengths, talents, and needs of every Panther. Through meaningful learning experiences and a culture of encouragement, we will continue to “Build Each Other Up” and help our students thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally.

A key ingredient in our continued success is the strong partnership we share with our families. Your involvement matters. Whether it’s volunteering in classrooms, joining our vibrant PTA, serving on the School Site Council (SSC) or English Learners Advisory Committee (ELAC), participating in Coffee with the Principal, or helping at school events, your engagement helps unlock even greater success for our students.

Our dedicated staff of educators work tirelessly to provide a rich and positive educational experience. With your support, we will continue to foster a culture of excellence, equity, and opportunity.

I am excited for the journey ahead and look forward to working with each of you to ensure a productive, meaningful, and successful school year for every student.

Warmly,

Ardrella Hamilton
