Dear St. Martha Families,

Welcome! It is a true blessing to serve as your principal. I am excited to partner with you as we work together to provide a caring, safe, and engaging learning environment for every child.

I have been an educator for 39 years, and throughout my career I have remained passionate about helping children discover their strengths and reach their full potential. I truly believe that every child has the ability to learn, grow, and succeed when they are supported, encouraged, and loved.

My faith is the foundation of my work. I believe that every child is precious and is a child of God, deserving of kindness, respect, patience, and the opportunity to thrive. It is a privilege to help nurture not only students' academic growth but also their character and confidence.

Parents are a child's first and most important teachers. I value the partnership between home and school and believe that when families and educators work together, children experience the greatest success. Open communication is essential, and I am committed to listening, sharing information, and working collaboratively with our families. I also believe in treating every student, family, and staff member with fairness, respect, and compassion.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children. I look forward to getting to know each of you and to making this a wonderful year filled with learning, faith, friendship, and growth. Together, we can help every child reach their God-given potential.

​

With gratitude,

Mrs.  Cynthia Deguchi-Principal
