A Message from Our Principal

Dear Panther Families and Community,

Welcome to McDonald Junior High, where we proudly encourage every student to See It! Believe It! Achieve It!

It is an honor to serve as the principal of a school community filled with talented students, dedicated educators, supportive families, and committed community partners. At McDonald Junior High, we believe every student deserves a safe, welcoming, and engaging learning environment where they feel valued, supported, and inspired to reach their fullest potential.

Our faculty and staff are committed to providing high-quality instruction, meaningful learning experiences, and opportunities that support the academic, social, and emotional development of every Panther. We maintain high expectations while recognizing that each student brings unique strengths, talents, experiences, and goals to our campus.

We also understand that student success is built through strong partnerships. Families are essential members of our Panther community, and we encourage you to remain connected, communicate with our staff, participate in campus activities, and celebrate the many accomplishments of our students throughout the year.

As Panthers, we lead with purpose, demonstrate respect, embrace challenges, and take pride in our school. Together, we will continue building a campus culture in which students are empowered to see the possibilities before them, believe in their ability to succeed, and achieve excellence in the classroom and beyond.

Thank you for trusting us with the opportunity to educate, encourage, and support your child. I look forward to an outstanding school year filled with learning, growth, collaboration, and Panther pride.

See It! Believe It! Achieve It!

With Panther Pride,

Aisha Montanez
Principal
