I would like to introduce myself as Joni Howard, the principal here at Greenville. I absolutely love working with and leading

the Greenville community. I have been on site for just shy of one year now, and hopefully you have

gotten a chance to say hello or have seen me at events and arrival or dismissal. I am truly thrilled to be here.

As I walk around campus and talk with individuals from this school community, I can say that your

children and the staff at Greenville have are just wonderful. Students are friendly and

kind, and they look fantastic in their uniforms. The children at Greenville come to school

ready to learn.

Although I am new to Greenville and to SAUSD, I am not new to education. I have worked in

education for 25 years, as an elementary school teacher, a literacy coach, an assistant principal and

a principal. I have worked as an administrator for the past 10 years in Corona-Norco USD. I hear

wonderful things about SAUSD, and again I am so happy to be a part of Greenville Fundamental

School.

I strongly believe safety must be first in education. Physical and emotional safety is a top priority

because when students feel safe, they will grow by leaps and bounds. I also know that through staff

and student collaboration, learning can accelerate. We can do more together than we can do alone.

Lastly, as I walk the campus of this great school, I make a commitment to listen to everyone.

Listening to all stakeholders (students, staff, parents and community members) will give me much

insight into the needs of our school. Together we can work toward steady improvements in

academics and student wellness.

I look forward to coming to Greenville every day, and if you see me, please don’t hesitate to say hello.

Thank you for choosing Greenville as the school for your children to learn and grow.

Sincerely,

Dr. Howard

Principal

Greenville Fundamental School
