Principal's Corner

Mrs. Yosondra Lett

Principal

Welcome to School of Discovery. I am very proud to be principal of a school with amazing students, parents, community volunteers, teachers, and support staff. We are a school that delivers the highest quality education, while removing barriers to student achievement, in the most passionate and compassionate environment.

Each student is afforded a well-rounded education that is relevant, rigorous, and engaging supported by high quality teacher leaders who help lay the foundation to get students ready for college and careers by facilitating the highest levels of depth of knowledge (DOK). Students are given the opportunity to extend their thinking by appraising, connecting, creating, critiquing, designing, judging, justifying, proving, reporting, and synthesizing. School of Discovery teachers motivate and encourage students to take risks, embrace diversity, dream beyond their current realities, and develop into productive citizens that can compete in a globally evolving society.

Without doubt, the School of Discovery team is committed to developing scholars who are, "Soaring Beyond Expectations!"
