Principal's Message

It is my pleasure to welcome back for this 2025/2026 school year Rice Canyon Elementary Schools Raptors! It is an honor to step into the role of principal and lead a community where Respect, Organization, Attitude, and Responsibility (R.O.A.R.) are at the heart of everything we do. At Rice Canyon, our Raptors soar with pride as they embrace those values daily, fostering a culture of positive choices and a warm, family atmosphere.

Our school is dedicated to providing rigorous, relevant, and globally competitive learning for every student, supported by powerful digital tool. Together with our families, we uphold a strong Title I partnership, reflected through our School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and Home-to-School Compact, which guide our shared commitment to growth and success. 

We also prioritize mental health and well-being, offering resources and support to ensure every Raptor feels cared for and empowered. This year, our focus is on collaborating with families to help each child reach new heights—just like the Raptors we are inspired by. Let’s work together, celebrate every milestone, and champion our students as they soar academically, socially, and emotionally.
