Dear Varela Families, Students, and Staff,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Felix Varela Senior High School! It is with great enthusiasm and pride that I greet you as we embark on another year of learning, growth, and success. As we continue to embrace our motto, “Unleash the Viper Within,” I am confident that this year will be filled with remarkable achievements and memorable experiences.
Reflecting on my first year as your principal, I am immensely proud of the progress we have made together. Our collective efforts have fostered a community of resilience, innovation, and academic excellence. This year, we will build on that foundation, striving to provide every student with the opportunities and support they need to excel both in and out of the classroom.
At Felix Varela SHS, we are dedicated to nurturing the unique talents and potential of each student. Our comprehensive curriculum, diverse extracurricular programs, and commitment to social-emotional learning ensure that our students are well-prepared for the challenges of the future. We believe in empowering our students to be leaders, critical thinkers, and compassionate individuals who will make a positive impact in our community and beyond.
To our returning students, welcome back! Your energy, creativity, and determination are the heart of our school. To our new students and families, welcome to the Viper family! We are thrilled to have you join us and look forward to the fresh perspectives and contributions you will bring.
As we prepare for the year ahead, I encourage everyone to stay engaged, communicate openly, and support one another. Our success as a school community depends on the collaboration and dedication of students, parents, teachers, and staff. Together, we will continue to create a safe, inclusive, and dynamic learning environment where everyone can thrive.
We ask that you join us on our social media pages for our upcoming events, including the New Student Orientation and the first Parent-Teacher Association meeting. These gatherings are wonderful opportunities to connect, share ideas, and strengthen our community bonds.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to Felix Varela SHS. Let us all “Unleash the Viper Within” as we strive for excellence and make this school year our best one yet!
With Viper Pride,
Mr. Adrian M. Sanchez
Principal
