Meet Our Principal

Dear families,

When I talk to parents, I often hear them express the same sentiments in the conversation—every parent wants joy and success for their child. The school that families and their children choose includes so much more than neighborhood programs and sports. Everyone wants and deserves a school that can be trusted to build a bright future for students.

What is the right kind of training that can unlock a successful future? Our world is rapidly changing, and it is often difficult to see the realities and careers of the future, much less plan for them. A well-rounded educational foundation, however, can help give students the ability to think critically about the world around them. It includes rigorous courses in which they can participate and prepare for college as well as courses in the arts that promote critical thinking and creativity. It provides challenges each student to participate in the challenges of the world and empowers them to believe in their role in solving these problems. It can also connect children as well as adults to themselves and the community and develop life-changing connections that open doors to college, careers, and opportunities. At Ánimo Venice Charter High School, an excellent education awaits your child.

Sincerely,

Mack Mossett
Interim Principal,
Animo Venice Charter High School
