Principal's Message
Dear Mark Keppel High School Community,
As December arrives and the holiday season approaches, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible first semester we’ve had at Mark Keppel High School. This time of year reminds us of the importance of gratitude, unity, and the strength of our Aztec family.
Our students have shown remarkable resilience and determination in academics, athletics, and the arts, and I couldn’t be prouder of their achievements. From spirited performances to inspiring classroom accomplishments, they continue to embody the excellence that defines our school.
To our dedicated staff, thank you for your unwavering commitment to our students’ success. Your hard work and passion make Mark Keppel a place of growth and opportunity for every learner.
To our families and community members, your support is invaluable. Together, we create an environment where students can thrive, not just academically, but as well-rounded individuals ready to make a positive impact in the world.
As we prepare for the winter break, I encourage everyone to take time to rest, reconnect with loved ones, and reflect on the accomplishments of the year. When we return in January, we’ll be ready to embrace the opportunities of a new year with the same enthusiasm and determination that have brought us this far.
Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year!
Warm regards,
Alejandra Perez _ Principal
Mark Keppel High School
