Message from the Principal

The goal of the Ánimo Ellen Ochoa Charter Middle school team is to strengthen our community and work hard in making our families partners in their child’s education. This is more important now, as we are facing so many challenges. The work of transforming public education and empowering the community is not done alone. You are an important part in making this a reality for your child, and we eagerly look forward to working with you and your family. The road to college starts at AEO, and together we can assure that your child will be successful in middle school and beyond.
