Principal's Message

Dear Sweetwater Middle School Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new principal of Sweetwater Middle School. It is an honor to join this vibrant and diverse community, and I am excited to embark on this journey with you and your children.

As your new principal, I am deeply committed to building a strong partnership with our families and the greater Sweetwater community. When schools and families work together, students thrive. My goal is to foster open communication, mutual respect, and shared responsibility for every student's success.

At Sweetwater Middle School, we are dedicated to becoming a world-class school where all students are empowered to excel and reach their fullest potential. Together with our talented teachers and staff, I will work to ensure that every student receives a high-quality education in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment.

One of our top priorities is to ensure that students leave Sweetwater Middle School fully prepared for the academic and social challenges of high school. We will focus on building strong foundational skills, nurturing curiosity, and encouraging leadership and responsibility in every student.

I invite you to our Open House on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. This event is a wonderful opportunity for you and your child to meet their teachers, explore the school, and connect with our administrative team.

Additionally, I will be hosting a "Meet the Principal" session on the same day at 12:00 p.m. in the Media Center. I warmly invite you to this special event, where I will share my vision for Sweetwater Middle School and listen to your hopes, ideas, and concerns. Your voice matters, and I look forward to learning from you.

I look forward to meeting you and building a school culture of excellence, equity, and empathy.

I am genuinely excited about the year ahead and the opportunity to work alongside you to make Sweetwater Middle School a place where every student can shine. Thank you for your support and partnership. Let's make this a fantastic year!

Warm regards, 

Dr. Ivelisse Hernandez 

Principal, Sweetwater Middle School
