LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Kimberly Llorens Principal

University Preparatory Academy Elementary School - Mark Murray Campus is an exceptional school where dedicated, highly trained teachers work closely with parents and the greater community to ensure that all children receive a quality education that will enable them to realize their full academic potential and help them along a proven pathway to success in college and life. Our school's strengths are embedded in the high level of commitment we insist upon and receive from our staff, our families, and the community. We are continually looking for new and innovative ways to enrich our curriculum and accelerate our students' learning, so that our students receive the most comprehensive, engaging, and effective education possible. We use the phrase, "There are no shortcuts," to remind us that our work is intentional and individualized, and the personal bonds we build with our students and their families are lifelong. UPA - Mark Murray Campus is committed to providing our students with all the necessary tools to be successful. We strive to involve our families and the greater community because we know our students need as many advocates as possible. Through this collaboration, our students become articulate, ethical, and successful individuals. This is what makes our school a good school. Great things sit on shelves and are admired for their greatness. Good things are handled and touched, and admired because they are real and tangible. At University Prep Elementary School - Mark Murray Campus, we offer the tangible: an education that can propel students to greatness.
