Dear Morningside Elementary School Community,

I am excited to introduce myself as your new principal for the 2024/2025 school year. My name is Chris Holland, and I am thrilled to join the Morningside family. I come to Morningside with a diverse background in education, having served as the principal of Warren Elementary, an assistant principal at Heritage Elementary, and a coordinator of evaluation and research within our district. I began my career as a history teacher at Bolsa Grande High School and have always believed that education opens unlimited possibilities for our students. I am passionate about helping students discover a lifelong love of learning and am committed to creating a supportive and enriching environment for every child.

At Morningside Elementary, we are incredibly proud of our exceptional programs that focus on our students' academic and social-emotional growth. Our dedicated teachers have an outstanding reputation for hard work and going above and beyond to support our students. As we start this school year, my goal is to build on our strong foundation and work collaboratively with parents, community, and staff to help our students achieve their highest potential. Together, we can ensure a positive atmosphere that brings out the best in each student. I am excited to serve this community and look forward to a successful year ahead!

Chris Holland

Principal, Morningside Elementary
