It is with immense excitement and a deep sense of honor that I introduce myself as your new principal for the 2025–2026 school year. I have a rich background in education and am committed to the advancement of every child and the entire learning community. I am incredibly eager to join the vibrant community of River Trail School of Agricultural Science and to begin working alongside each of you to ensure a successful and enriching experience for every student.

My goal is to foster a dynamic and supportive atmosphere where students are inspired to explore, innovate, and develop a profound understanding of the world around them through hands-on, engaging experiences.

The River Trail leadership team and I want you to know that our staff motto this school year is “Aggressively Pursuing Excellence.” This means we are raising the bar to ensure everyone is connected to rigorous and purposeful learning experiences. We are also committed to agricultural principles and environmental stewardship to further advance students’ understanding. This distinctive focus provides an unparalleled learning environment, and I am dedicated to upholding and enhancing these core values.

I believe that a strong partnership between home and school is fundamental to a child’s success. I am committed to open communication and collaboration and look forward to meeting many of you during our grade-level parent meetings (see the attached flyer). Your insights and involvement are invaluable, and I encourage you to be active participants in our school community.

As we prepare for the new school year, I am filled with optimism for all that we will achieve together. I am excited to embark on this journey with our dedicated staff, talented students, and supportive families. I look forward to meeting you all.

Warmly,

Mrs. Felice Beal-Thomas
Principal
