Assistant Principal's Message

Greetings, Merritt Family!

It is with great joy and a deep sense of purpose that I return to the place I proudly called home for 20 wonderful years – as a teacher, a colleague, and a lifelong learner. Today, I am honored to step into a new role as assistant principal.

Merritt holds a special place in my heart, not only because of the years I spent here, but also because of the incredible students, staff, and families that make this community so unique. I look forward to building on a shared history while supporting continued growth, academic excellence, and a positive school culture.

As we begin this new chapter together, know that my door is always open. I am here to listen, to serve, and to champion the success of every student and staff member.

Let’s make this year one of joy, progress, and connection. Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!

Leola Gilson-Wright, Assistant Principal
