Principal's Corner

Welcome to Dexter Families

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 academic year at Dexter Elementary School. Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning to our community, we are honored to partner with you in the education of your child.

This year marks Dexter’s 56th year of distinguished service to military-connected families. We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing a nurturing, intellectually stimulating, and safe learning environment where every student is empowered to thrive. Our mission is deeply aligned with DoDEA’s vision:

“To Educate, Engage, and Empower military-connected students to succeed in a dynamic world.”

As Principal, I am dedicated to ensuring Excellence in Education Every Day for Every Student. Our instructional approach is rooted in the DoDEA College and Career Ready (CCR) standards, which guide our educators in delivering rigorous, standards-based instruction. Students will engage in purposeful learning experiences that foster critical thinking, collaboration, and academic inquiry. Our goal is to cultivate learners who are not only prepared for future academic success but also equipped to contribute meaningfully to an ever-evolving global society.

We recognize that strong partnerships between school and home are essential to student achievement. I encourage all families to become active participants in our school community—whether through joining the PTO, volunteering, or attending school events. Your involvement enriches our school culture and strengthens the support network that surrounds each child.

Together, we can make a profound impact on the lives of our students. I look forward to a year filled with growth, achievement, and shared success. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We are excited to welcome you and your family back to Dexter Elementary School.
