Meet Our Principal and Assistant Principal

Dear Royal Oaks STEAM Academy Community,

It is with great excitement and gratitude that we welcome you to Royal Oaks STEAM Academy. We are honored to serve as your Principal and Assistant Principal and to join a community so deeply committed to our students, learning, innovation, and one another.

We believe that relationships matter, every student deserves to feel known and supported, and our greatest success happens when we work together. As we begin this journey, we look forward to listening, learning, and getting to know our students, families, and staff.

To our students: You are at the heart of everything we do. We are excited to celebrate your creativity, curiosity, accomplishments, and growth. We want every Eagle to feel confident, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.

To our families: Your partnership matters. We look forward to building strong, open relationships and creating a school community where every family feels welcomed, valued, and connected.

To our staff: We are grateful for the dedication and care you bring to our students each day. We look forward to learning alongside you, supporting your work, and building on the strong foundation already established at Royal Oaks.

Together, we will continue creating engaging opportunities for our Eagles to think, create, collaborate, innovate, and SOAR. Our goal is for every student to experience belonging, success, and the confidence to discover what is possible.

We are excited for this journey and all that we will accomplish together. Thank you for welcoming us into the Royal Oaks family!

With Eagle Pride,

Melisa Duardo
