Welcome to Royal Oaks STEAM Academy!

I am truly honored and excited to join the Royal Oaks STEAM Academy family as your new principal. Our dedicated staff and vibrant students create a unique and dynamic environment that I am thrilled to be part of.

At Royal Oaks, we are committed to providing a well-rounded education that nurtures the whole child. Our focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) allows us to offer an innovative and engaging curriculum that prepares our students for future success.

As I step into this role, my goal is to build on the strong foundation already in place and continue to foster an environment where every student can thrive. Academic excellence is at the core of what we do, and we will work together to ensure every student reaches their full potential. Our teachers are dedicated to delivering rigorous and engaging instruction, inspiring a love of learning in every student. Innovation and creativity are essential components of our STEAM focus. Our students will be well-prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century with confidence and creativity.

At Royal Oaks, we honor the richness of backgrounds that all students bring to our school. We strive to create a welcoming and respectful environment for every family, understanding and appreciating the diverse perspectives within our community. Building strong partnerships with our families and the wider community is essential to support the growth and development of our students.

Social-emotional learning is also a key focus at Royal Oaks. We understand the importance of addressing the social and emotional needs of our students and are committed to promoting empathy, resilience, and positive relationships within our school community.

I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to working closely with each of you to create a positive and enriching school experience for our students. Together, we can inspire and empower our students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and compassionate leaders.

Thank you for your warm welcome and support. Let’s make this a fantastic school year!

Warm regards,

Julia Castillo
