Welcome to a New School Year at Olmsted Academy South!

Dear Olmsted Academy South Families,

I hope you and your family are enjoying a wonderful summer! My name is Dr. Johana Gomez, and I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal of Olmsted Academy South.
It is a privilege to join a school community with such a strong tradition of excellence, and I am excited to partner with you as we begin a new school year. I chose a career in education because I know firsthand the difference a school and a caring teacher can make in a child’s life. As a child, school was my safe place, and one teacher’s belief in me changed the course of my life. That experience continues to inspire me and reminds me that every student deserves to be seen, supported, challenged, and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.
At Olmsted Academy South, my commitment is simple: to ensure every student learns in a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment where they can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe that every child has unique strengths and unlimited potential, and it is our responsibility to help them discover both. I also believe the strongest schools are built through meaningful partnerships between families, students, staff, and the community. Together, we can accomplish extraordinary things for our children.
You will often hear me say:
Every Student. Every Day. Every Interaction Matters.
This is more than a motto; it is the commitment I make to every student and every family. Every interaction is an opportunity to build trust, encourage growth, and make a positive difference.
Over the next few weeks, you will receive additional information about important back-to-school dates, schedules, and opportunities to connect with our staff. I encourage you to stay engaged, ask questions, and partner with us throughout the school year. Your involvement is one of the greatest factors in your child’s success, and I value the trust you place in us each day.
I look forward to meeting many of you during our back-to-school events. Please don’t hesitate to introduce yourself. I truly value getting to know the families who make Olmsted Academy South such a special community. My door is always open, and I welcome your ideas, questions, and partnership as we work together to provide the very best educational experience for every student.
Thank you for welcoming me into the Olmsted Academy South family. I am excited for all that we will accomplish together and look forward to an incredible school year.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and I can’t wait to welcome our students back to school!
With appreciation,
Dr. Johana Gomez
