School Profile

It is with great honor to serve as the Principal of Morningside Elementary School, the best school in the state of Florida. Welcome to Morningside, where every child exceeds expectations, every day, the Blue Jay way! Morningside is the oldest school in Port Saint Lucie and has a long, deeply rooted tradition of excellence. Our gifted program is noted for its rigor and relevance. The Odyssey of the Mind program is world renowned and continues to challenge students to think. With the partnering of students, staff, and parents, the vision of the school community thrives. Instruction is traditional yet, innovative, engaging, differentiated, standards-based and designed to meet the needs of each student. Teachers are experienced, skilled in their craft, and have a deep pedagogy which helps to ensure student achievement. MSE is a family oriented neighborhood school of high expectations that is recognized by the Florida Department of Education as an A school, meets the requirements of the Federal No Child Left Behind Act with the designation of an A for Adequate Yearly Progress, and has earned the Golden School and Five Star School Awards. We have numerous business partners that support our school and provide unique opportunities for our students. Parental involvement is strongly encouraged so that our PTO and SAC can actively support school programs. I invite you to visit our school. You will indeed want to become a part of the Blue Jay family.
