Dear Estrella Middle School community:
I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such outstanding students, an extremely dedicated and professional staff, and a supportive school community. I am humbled to be part of this school and to support the students and families. Estrella Middle School is STEM-focused and offers incredible programs that will elevate your child in terms of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Our scholars also have access to 3D printers that allow them to solve real-world engineering problems. Our culinary arts program is offered to 6-8th grade students and is very popular. This program teaches scholars nutrition and encompasses kitchen & food safety. Plus, scholars cook on a weekly basis! This is my 24th year as an educator. I have worked in Cartwright for 19 years as a 6th-grade teacher, a reading specialist, an assistant director of reading & writing a district mentor, and have served as assistant principal in two previous schools. I am more than ready to make our children succeed academically and emotionally. My educational philosophy is that every decision we make is student-centered and student-focused. I have high expectations for every student and my staff operates on the mentality that every student gets a quality education that fits their needs. I am so excited to be your principal and I look forward to meeting each family as they walk through our halls! -Jennae Brittain, Principal
