From Mrs.Hughes

Dear Sierra Verde Families,

It is an honor and privilege to serve as the principal of Sierra Verde STEAM Academy, a place where innovation, creativity, and academic excellence thrive. Our mission is to provide a safe and inclusive environment where students can explore, grow, and achieve their full potential.

As a Cognia STEM-accredited school, we are proud to offer authentic learning experiences that integrate science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and collaboration—skills that empower our students to become lifelong learners and leaders in a rapidly evolving world.

At Sierra Verde, we believe that education is a partnership between school, home, and community. Your support and involvement play an essential role in our students' success. Whether you’re volunteering on campus, cheering on our Vipers at events, or supporting your child’s learning journey at home, you are an invaluable part of our Sierra Verde family.

This year, we are excited to continue growing our programs and traditions, including our STEAM Career Day, student-led initiatives, and a strong focus on PEAK behavior—preparing our students to be Problem-Solvers, Engaged, Accountable, and Kind citizens.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. Together, we will make this year one of growth, discovery, and achievement. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time—I am here to support you and your family.

Go Vipers!

Warm regards,
