Meet the Principal

Dear Felicita Families and Community,

My name is Stephanie Higginbotham, and I am the proud principal of Felicita Elementary. I come with over 16 years of experience in education, having been an elementary teacher, site and district level teacher on special assignment, and assistant principal. I have two children of my own, and know first-hand the importance of providing our children with a strong foundational start to their education. That’s why I can’t wait to meet you all, get to know you and your families, and work together on growing an already incredible school community!

Our school mission at Felicita is “Teaming up for the success of every learner!” Together we will provide all students the resources and support they need to be successful and to develop their unique strengths, talents, and potential.

I encourage you to visit and to learn more about how to get connected by joining our Felicita Parent Teacher Association. This is a vital organization that keeps the home-school connection strong, and provides many opportunities to volunteer and contribute to making your child’s learning environment even more supported and unified.

Please feel free to introduce yourself and say hello in person, or reach me by phone or email at my contact information below. I look forward to an incredible year together.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Higginbotham

Principal, Felicita Elementary
