Principal's Message

2025-2026 School Year

Welcome, AC Stelle Community and Friends!

I am both honored and excited to serve as the principal of this remarkable school, alongside our dedicated and passionate staff. Our mission is to nurture each child’s self-worth and self-image while striving for academic excellence. We are committed to supporting our students as they pursue knowledge, develop respect for others, appreciate diverse cultures, and, most importantly, achieve happiness. Together, we form a vibrant community that collaborates to guide our children toward a path where they feel safe, confident, and empowered to realize their dreams.

I began my career with LVUSD in 1992, teaching for over 20 years before transitioning to administration. I spent 14 years at Calabasas High School, 12 years at Agoura High School, and have proudly been part of the AC Stelle family since 2018. As a parent, I have had the privilege of seeing both of my children thrive within LVUSD, attending from kindergarten through 12th grade. This deep connection to our district fuels my dedication to our schools and students.

At AC Stelle, we have an exceptional team of teachers, counselors, and staff who come to work each day ready to create a nurturing learning environment for our students. Through both the highs and the challenges, we are here to provide unwavering support, with safety at the forefront of everything we do, particularly during these times.

While middle school can certainly present its challenges, it is also a time of tremendous growth. Our role is to equip students with the tools they need to navigate the changes they face as they begin to explore the broader world. We are committed to ensuring they are prepared and confident as they take those first steps toward greater independence.

Let’s work together to help our children spread their wings and soar to new heights.

Go Eagles!
