Hello, students, teachers, staff, and parents! My name is Fernando Gallardo and I am very proud and honored to be the new principal of Da Vinci Middle and High School. I look forward to working with all of you to help our students be successful.
I have previously served as principal for two of our elementary schools, Howard Burnham Elementary and Vista Del Futuro Elementary. I have also served in various administrative capacities such as Executive Director of Operations and Internal Academic Auditor and I truly believe that these past positions have prepared me to now serve as the principal of our middle school and high school. I have a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, a master’s degree in Management, currently completing a doctoral degree in Educational Leadership, and am fully certified as both a Principal and as a Special Education Teacher in Texas. Additionally, I currently also serve as District Testing Coordinator for both the Burnham Wood and the Vista Del Futuro school districts. Therefore, I am very eager to put all my training and education to work for all of you as we move our school forward to continue to be the best in the state.
As always, please know that my door is always open to help any of you and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to making this year one of the best ever at Da Vinci.
Go Dragons!
