Mrs. Julie Goldberg

Proud Principal of Pomerado Elementary School

We’re proud to be named a 2024 Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll school, which recognizes high-performing, achievement gap-closing schools across the nation. The Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll, sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence, is the only school award given in collaboration with state and local business leaders. The Honor Roll is a valuable resource for all schools to identify successful peers and learn about best practices that are improving student achievement.

Happy first week of December! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving and time with your families last week.
