Meet Our 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.
Founded in 2014, Ánimo Ellen Ochoa Charter Middle School has served its local community by providing a student-centered learning environment focused on preparing its youth for success.
It is our mission that all students culminate from AEO, not only ready for the challenges of high school, but ready for the demands of what they will face in college, leadership and life. 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.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Ybarra
Principal
