Principal's Welcome

Dear Sheridan Hills Families,

It is with heartfelt enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the new principal of Sheridan Hills Elementary School. What drew me to Sheridan Hills—and the Richfield community—is the authentic, close-knit spirit that makes this school a place where every child is seen, supported and celebrated.

One of my favorite parts about working in elementary schools is being surrounded by the joy that children bring into the world every day. Their energy and curiosity are such an inspiration. I am committed to fostering an environment where students thrive academically and develop the character and confidence to succeed in school and their daily lives.
Sheridan Hills has a proud tradition of nurturing students' hearts and minds. We offer a full range of rigorous academic programs, including specialist classes in Art, Music, Media/STEM and Physical Education. We also provide social-emotional support through our schoolwide curriculum and offer customized support for students who demonstrate additional need. At Sheridan Hills, we believe that education is about the whole child and that meaningful learning happens when children feel safe, joyful and connected.

It is no secret that it takes a village to educate a child. As your principal, I am committed to building strong relationships with you to provide the very best educational experience for your children. Please reach out if you need anything or simply pop in to say hello. My door is always open. Together, we will build upon the strong legacy at Sheridan Hills and make this the best year ever.

Thank you for welcoming me into this incredible community. I look forward to the year ahead and all we will accomplish together.

Warmly,

Principal Yvette Garcia
