Greetings Cougars!
Welcome Back to the 2025/2026 School Year!
As we enter a new academic year, I am filled with excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to continue partnering with parents in our students' learning journey.
At Lydia Romero-Cruz Academy, our work is guided by a set of Core Values that reflect our commitment to every student’s academic and personal growth. These values shape the way we teach, connect, and lead:
Engagement: We create meaningful and active learning experiences that spark curiosity.
Belonging: Every student is seen, valued, and supported in our inclusive school community.
Discovery: We foster exploration and critical thinking that prepare students for real-world challenges.
Growth: We support the development of each learner through continuous academic and personal growth.
Surrounding these core values are our instructional commitments: Personalized Learning, Equitable & Inclusive Practices, Authentic Experiences, and Competency-Based Instruction.
LRCA Programs & Pathways
Our school offers a range of unique learning opportunities designed to engage and challenge all learners. We are proud of the programs and pathways that help students discover their passions and prepare for success:
Dual Language Immersion
Visual and Performing Arts
STEM and Project-Based Learning
College and Career Readiness Activities
Social-Emotional Learning & Wellness Supports
Each program is intentionally aligned with our mission to inspire innovative problem-solvers, ethical leaders, and compassionate citizens.
Parents as Partners
We believe parents and families are our most valuable partners in education. We will continue to foster strong home-school connections through regular “Coffee with the Principal” meetings, family workshops, and community-building events. Open communication is essential, and I encourage you to reach out to me or our team anytime. I’m often in the parking lot before and after school—please feel free to say hello!
Our Commitment to Safety & Inclusion
As always, the safety, dignity, and well-being of every student is our top priority. Please know that:
Schools are safe zones.
No information is ever shared with immigration enforcement.
All students are welcome, regardless of immigration status.
We are here to help, every step of the way.
Thank you, parents, for entrusting us with the education and care of your children. Let’s make the 2025/2026 school year a time of growth, discovery, and joy—for every student, every day.
Respectfully yours,
Ms. Oralia Cordova Principal, Lydia Romero-Cruz Academy
