Dear Gateway MST Parents and Students,

I am thrilled to kick off the 2024-2025 school year! As our students strive to reach their individual and collective goals, I am reminded of Martin Luther King Jr.'s words: “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.”

As we embark on this journey together, let’s unite school, home, and community to achieve greatness. Our mission this year is to encourage, support, and champion each student as they grow academically and socially. Let us embrace our similarities and differences, celebrating our diversity, and thrive as one family.

Students, I urge you to approach this new school year with an open mind and a willingness to learn. Together, we can create both a safe and inclusive educational environment where everyone feels valued and respected, as well as a fun place to make memories that will last for a lifetime.

Parents, thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education, safety, and well-being. I look forward to celebrating our many successes this school year. Let’s go Jr. Jags!
