Dear Montclaire families,

I want to personally welcome you and your family to the 2023-2024 school year.  I am honored to be your principal and believe that Montclaire is positioned to do amazing things this school year. 

Montclaire’s mission is to create a safe and welcoming environment for our students so they are empowered to be self-directed risk takers in order to reach their high academic and social-emotional goals.  We believe in nurturing and growing the whole child and that each child deserves to experience love and high expectations.  We know that our students are the very best, and we look forward to seeing the great things they will achieve at Montclaire!

Please know how committed I am to serving our students, staff, families and the greater community. I look forward to collaborating and partnering to strengthen Montclaire so that we can continue to uphold our district’s vision to lead the community in educational excellence, inspiring intellectual curiosity, creativity, and achievement so that all students reach their full potential!

It is going to be an amazing year because we “Can't hide that Hornet pride!”

Courtney Derrick
