It is an honor and a privilege to be part of the Palm Pointe Family. Our goal at Palm Pointe is to prepare all students for their next mission. As one of the assistant principals, I am here to build relationships within our school community, support students with quality, engaging and differentiated instruction and to help students to reach their full potential. I look forward to working together with you, our school community, for the success of all our Rockets!
I am honored to be part of the Palm Pointe leadership team! I have served as an educator for 24 years; 20 of those years have been right here in St. Lucie County, after getting my start in Queens, New York. I have served as teacher, team leader, Literacy Coach, Instructional Coach, ESE Specialist, and now, as one of your Assistant Principals. I have found that whatever position I am working in, the goal is always the same… to serve others! I believe in the power of building healthy, lasting relationships and working together to achieve success. It, truly, does take a village to help children thrive, and Palm Pointe is a beautiful, successful, caring village that I am blessed to be a part of! I am eager to see what we can accomplish, embarking on our next mission together.
Welcome to Palm Pointe Educational Research School! Since our establishment in 2008, we have proudly maintained an ‘A’ school grade each year, showcasing our unwavering commitment to academic excellence.

Our mission is to provide rigorous and engaging instruction which empowers all students to achieve their highest potential. Our school employs exceptional faculty and staff who cultivate a nurturing environment marked by professionalism and expertise. Our teachers are a community of learners who continuously seek to enhance their pedagogical skills through action research projects and professional learning opportunities.
At Palm Pointe, we recognize the significance of family and community partnerships in enhancing our students’ educational journey. In addition to academic success, we are dedicated to developing well-rounded students through a robust offering of arts, sports, and other extracurricular activities. Our dedication to student achievement has earned us numerous accolades over the years, including recognition in Band, PBIS, and the prestigious title of School of Excellence.
