Principal Steve Simpson
Fall 2024
Welcome to San Jacinto Technology Institute,
I'm Steve Simpson, Principal of SJ Tech, a K-8 Virtual Technology School. Leading this institution is not just a role for me; it's a source of pride and purpose. My dedication is unwavering as I continue to implement our mission and vision forward at SJTI. Our foremost goal is to provide students with educational experiences that are truly exceptional. We are committed to offering personalized learning journeys that cater to the unique strengths, interests, and learning styles of each student. This commitment is reflected in our adoption of flexible, student-centered approaches and cutting-edge specialized learning platforms. Whether through interactive virtual classrooms, hands-on projects, or tailored curriculum pathways, we ensure that every child receives the support they need to thrive academically and personally. Our emphasis on personalized education extends beyond academics. We cultivate an inclusive environment where students feel valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. By fostering a culture of innovation and adaptability, we empower our students to become critical thinkers, problem solvers, and lifelong learners prepared for the challenges of the modern world.
SJ Tech stands out for its virtual rigorous instructional model aligned with the district's core curriculum, prioritizing individual student growth. As a preferred educational choice, we foster a nurturing small-school environment that promotes safety and positivity, enhancing the virtual learning experience and boosting student success. Our vision is to equip students with advanced technological skills and practical, real-world connections, preparing them thoroughly for future careers and college readiness. We highly value the partnership of parents, guardians, and caregivers, fostering community through our inclusive hybrid enrichment labs that integrate engaging in-person and at-home activities. Parent involvement is pivotal to our success, and we actively encourage families to contribute, continuously exploring innovative ways to enhance the overall school experience for all stakeholders.
As Principal, I am privileged to witness the impact of our efforts firsthand. Each day, I see how our dedicated team of educators and staff goes above and beyond to nurture a community where students not only excel academically but also develop the confidence and resilience to navigate their futures with success. Together, we are shaping a future where education is not just about what students learn, but how they learn and grow as individuals. I eagerly anticipate meeting parents and students throughout the 2024-2025 school year, and together, let’s make it a remarkable year at SJ Tech! Go Jackrabbits!
Sincerely,
Steve Simpson
Principal - San Jacinto Technology Institute
