Principal Letter

Dear Mesa Robles Families,

Welcome to Mesa Robles School—home of the Mustangs! I am honored to serve as Principal of this exceptional TK–8 learning community, where tradition, innovation, and student-centered values come together to create a truly special place.

Mesa Robles is proud to be recognized as both a National Blue Ribbon School and a California Distinguished School, distinctions that reflect our commitment to academic excellence and whole-child development. With an enrollment of over 1,280 students, our campus is vibrant, diverse, and full of Mustang pride.

We believe that every child deserves a safe, supportive, and engaging environment to thrive. Our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum helps students build confidence, resilience, and strong interpersonal skills—essential tools for success in school and beyond.

Beyond the classroom, Mesa Robles offers dozens of after-school activities and clubs that encourage exploration, creativity, and leadership. We are also proud to host the Hacienda Heights Chinese School and Champions after-school care, providing enriching opportunities and support for our families.

One of the greatest strengths of Mesa Robles is our incredible parent community. With more than 100 active parent volunteers and a robust Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), our families play a vital role in supporting student success and enhancing the school experience. From classroom support and event planning to fundraising and advocacy, our parents help make Mesa Robles a welcoming and thriving place for all.

We deeply value this partnership and encourage all families to get involved—whether through volunteering, attending PTO meetings, or joining us at school events. Together, we can continue to build a strong, connected, and caring school community.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I look forward to a fantastic year ahead!

Warm regards,
Sherri Franson
Principal, Mesa Robles School
