Principal's Welcome Letter

Dr. De Trice Rodgers, Principal
Galileo Academy of Science and Technology 

August 11, 2024

It is with great enthusiasm and a deep sense of responsibility that I write to you as the new Principal Galileo Academy of Science and Technology. I am truly honored to join this vibrant community, and I am eager to work alongside each of you as we embark on this exciting journey together.

As I step into this role, I want to take a moment to share a bit about my vision and my commitment to our school. I believe that a school is more than just a place of learning; it is a community where every student is valued, every voice is heard, and every member is encouraged to grow. My vision for Galileo is one where we foster a culture of excellence, compassion, and innovation, ensuring that each student not only excels academically, but also develops the skills, character, and confidence needed to succeed in an ever-changing world.

I am committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where all students feel safe, respected, and inspired to reach their full potential. I also believe that strong partnerships between the school, families, and the wider community are essential to achieving our shared goals. To that end, I am dedicated to open communication, collaboration, and transparency in all that we do.

Over the coming weeks, I look forward to meeting with students, parents, teachers, and community members to learn more about your hopes and aspirations for our school. Your insights and feedback are invaluable to me as we work together to build on the strengths of Galileo and create new opportunities for growth and success.

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with your thoughts, questions, or concerns. My door is always open, and I am eager to hear from you.

Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received, and I look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and shared accomplishments. Together, we will continue to make Galileo a place where every student thrives and every member of our community feels proud to belong.

With warm regards and great anticipation,

Dr. De Trice Rodgers, Principal
