Carlos Galindo, Principal

 

I am PPS


  
Our principal is a shining star!
Nominated by his peers,
Mr. Galindo was recently honored
by being named as an outstanding
employee of PPS.

“He is an outstanding principal who
works tirelessly for his students and his staff….
I spent a day with him during Spring Break,
watching him get ready for his return to
school.  He constantly mentioned how he
loved his students and his staff, and that
he could not wait to get back to work with
them.  It was inspiring to see such selfless dedication.”
