About Assistant Principal Gonzalez

I am a native Floridian born and raised in Tampa. I received my Elementary Education degree from USF and my Master's in Educational Leadership from Saint Leo University.  I recently celebrated 25 years with the school district, during my tenure I have had the pleasure of working in various roles such as teacher, Reading Coach, District Resource Teacher and Assistant Principal.  As a  Reading Coach with the district I spent several years at Grady and am happy to be returning home.

On a personal note I am the proud mom of two amazing children, Ansley 13 and Joseph 11.  I enjoy being outdoors,  staying active and spending time with my family.  

Volunteers are needed on Thursday, July 18th at 12:00 pm to sort the school uniforms that were donated by sizes. The donated uniforms will be available for families to pick up at Open House on August 9th. 

Please email Christine Diaz if you are able to volunteer. Her email is [email protected].
