Meet Our Principal
The goal of the Ánimo Ellen Ochoa Charter Middle school team is to strengthen our community and work hard in making our families partners in their child’s education. Founded in 2014, Ánimo Ellen Ochoa Charter Middle School has served its local community by providing a student-centered learning environment focused on preparing its youth for success.
It is our mission that all students graduate from Ánimo Ellen Ochoa, not only ready for the challenges of high school, but ready for the demands of what they will later face in college and beyond. The work of transforming public education and empowering the community is not done alone. You play an important part in making this a reality for your young scholar, and we eagerly look forward to working with you and your family.
The road to college starts at Ánimo Ellen Ochoa. Together, we can ensure that your child can thrive and succeed.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Ybarra
Principal
