Dear Pine Grove Manor Families,
As the school year comes to a close and summer break begins, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to you as the new principal of Pine Grove Manor School. My name is Edgar Vazquez, and I am both honored and excited to join this vibrant and caring school community.
Pine Grove Manor has a proud tradition of excellence, and I look forward to working alongside its dedicated staff, amazing students, and supportive families to continue that legacy. More importantly, I am committed to building a school culture where every child feels seen, valued, and supported.
My journey in education is deeply personal. When I was five years old, my family immigrated to the United States in search of a better future for my siblings and me. Like many families, we faced the challenge of learning a new language and adapting to an unfamiliar culture. It wasn’t easy for our family, but we overcame those challenges with resilience, community, and support. Those experiences shaped my belief in the importance of collaboration through community to ensure that schools meet the needs of all students, especially those navigating unfamiliar paths. I carry that belief into every aspect of my leadership.
Over the course of my career, I’ve served as a bilingual teacher and vice principal, with each role reinforcing the importance of collaboration and student-centered practices. As I transition into this role as your new principal, my primary goal is to contribute to the great work already happening at PGM, while working closely with staff, students, and families to ensure all children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
As we head into the summer months, I want to wish you all a safe, relaxing, and joyful break. I look forward to meeting you and our Panda Warriors in the fall, hearing your stories, and working with you to continue to make Pine Grove Manor such a special place.
Thank you for the opportunity to lead, serve, and grow alongside this incredible school. I am genuinely excited for all that lies ahead.
Warm regards,
Edgar Vazquez
