Principal’s Message

Welcome! Bienvenidos!

Rhode Marquez-FelicianoMy name is Rhode Márquez-Feliciano, and it is an honor to serve the students, parents, staff, and community partners of Anna F. Doerfler School, located near the Layton Boulevard neighborhood and the Mitchell Park Domes.

I am a proud MPS alum and attribute my success to an enriched education in our bilingual schools. I am passionate about providing students with a safe environment that is conducive to learning, and I am proud that Doerfler alumni often choose to come back to our school as teachers, staff, and volunteers.

Our core belief is that every child can learn. We are committed to serving our families and providing a high-quality education to our students, preparing them to meet graduation requirements, be college and career ready, and become the next generation of decision-makers.

Technology and art are integral to the Doerfler learning environment.

We value maintaining and supporting our students’ native language while helping them reach English-language proficiency.

In addition to our rigorous biliterate, bicultural curriculum, we offer music, physical education, and bilingual K3 Head Start.

When the school day ends, students can be part of extracurricular activities that include basketball, volleyball, dance, and art club.

As the school leader of Anna F. Doerfler School, my door is always open, and I am available at any time to answer any questions about our school. I can be reached by phone at (414) 902-9505 or via email at marquere@milwaukee.k12.wi.us.

At Anna F. Doerfler School, we are ready and eager to learn. We are the Doerfler Hawks, and we soar!
