National Principals Month is celebrated annually in October. At University View Academy (UVA), our dedicated principals play a pivotal role in shaping our students’ futures and the trajectory of the school. Principals make a difference every day in our learning communities. In many ways, principals set the vision for a school. Their responsibilities include equipping their educators with high-quality instructional materials and effective teaching strategies.

- Ms. London has been in education for over 20 years.

Meet Ms. Garrett, our middle school principal!
- Ms. Garrett has been in education for 22 years.

Meet Ms. Watson, our high school principal!
