Aloha Students, Parents, and Community Members,
It is with immense pride and excitement that I introduce myself as the Principal of Ewa Makai Middle School. I am incredibly proud to be serving as your new principal. As we embark on this journey together, I want to extend a warm welcome to all our returning students and families, as well as those who are new to our Ewa Makai 'Ohana.
My career in education has been dedicated to fostering environments where students can truly thrive. Most recently, as Principal of Pohakea Elementary, I had the privilege of working alongside an incredible staff and student body to build a true 'ohana. While I will deeply miss my Pohakea students and staff, I am incredibly excited and look forward to joining my new 'ohana here at Ewa Makai Middle School and building new memories together.
At Ewa Makai Middle School, we believe that a child's middle school years are a pivotal time for growth, discovery, and developing a lifelong love for learning. My vision for our school is rooted in providing a safe, nurturing, and dynamic environment where every student feels valued, heard, and empowered to reach their full potential. We are committed to fostering a culture where students are encouraged to explore their interests, challenge themselves academically, and develop strong character.
Central to this vision is our commitment to a strong partnership between home and school. I firmly believe in the importance of parent participation and collaboration, recognizing that your insights and involvement are invaluable to your child's success. We desire to work hand-in-hand to ensure families feel connected and engaged. Furthermore, I am deeply committed to empowering student voice and truly enjoy their middle school years. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where every student feels secure, supported, and inspired to thrive academically, socially, and personally. Our dedicated staff is committed to knowing each student and providing the guidance and resources necessary for their success.
I look forward to meeting many of you in the coming weeks and months. Together, we will make Ewa Makai Middle School an exceptional place for our students to learn, grow, and shine.
Warmly,
Dr. Corey Barton
Principal, Ewa Makai Middle School
