Principal's Message

Principal’s Message

Welcome to Fancher Creek Elementary, home of the Falcons! It is my honor and privilege to serve as your principal and partner with our students, staff, families, and community in creating a safe and inspiring place to learn. 

At Fancher Creek, we are proud to be recognized as an AVID National Showcase School-one of only a select number of schools in the nation to earn this distinction. This recognition celebrates our commitment to preparing every student for success by fostering strong academic skills, goal setting, and a growth mindset. Our dedicated team of educators uses AVID strategies schoolwide to empower students to take ownership of their learning, develop critical thinking, and prepare for college, career, and life.

A little about me: education is not only my career, but also my passion. My husband, Michael, and I have a blended family that we cherish deeply. Together, we are raising four wonderful sons. Our youngest, Mikey, is actively involved in robotics and cross country. Jack is studying Aerospace Engineering at UC Berkeley. Donnovan works as a nutritionist at an assisted living facility, and our oldest, Domenic, is a devoted father to four children of his own. As a family, we shaped the way I approach my work as a principal. Family is truly at the heart of everything I do, and fuels my commitment to building a strong, caring school community for every child. 

Family and community partnerships are central to our success. I invite you to stay involved, attend events, and celebrate the milestones our students achieve throughout the year. Together, we can ensure that every student feels supported, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Thank you for being a vital part of our Fancher Creek family. I look forward to an incredible school year filled with growth, learning, and lasting memories.

 

Warmly,

Carisa Cordova
