Meet Our Principal - Mack Mossett (Interim Principal)

Dear families,

When I talk to parents, I often hear them express the same sentiments in the conversation—every parent wants joy and success for their child. The choice of school that parents and their children make includes much more than neighborhood programs and sports. Everyone wants and deserves a school that can be trusted to build a bright future for students.

What is the right kind of training that can open up a successful future? Our world is changing at a speed that is often difficult to quantify and it is often difficult to see the realities and careers of the future, much less plan for them. An excellent training, however, goes beyond learning the data and algorithms to give each participant the ability to think critically about the world around them. An excellent education includes rigorous courses in which they can participate and prepare for college as well as courses in the arts that promote critical thinking and creativity. An excellent education challenges each student to participate in the challenges of the world and empowers each one to believe in her role in solving these problems. An excellent education connects children as well as adults to themselves and the community and develops life-changing connections that open doors to college, careers and opportunities. And at Ánimo Venice Charter High School, an excellent education awaits your child.

Sincerely,

Mack Mossett
Interim Principal,
Animo Venice Charter High School
