Principal

Dear Walnut Canyon Families,

Welcome to a new school year! I hope you and your family had a wonderful summer filled with rest, adventure, and time together. It is a joy to welcome both our returning families and those joining the Walnut Canyon community for the first time.

As I begin my second year as principal, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to continue serving this incredible school community. Last year was one of learning, listening, and building relationships. Together, we celebrated student successes, strengthened our sense of community, and laid the foundation for many exciting initiatives that will continue to grow this year.

Our dedicated staff has been hard at work preparing welcoming classrooms, engaging learning experiences, and opportunities for every student to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Whether your child is returning or starting their Walnut Canyon journey, we are committed to ensuring they feel safe, valued, challenged, and inspired every day.

Outside of school, I enjoy hiking, exercising, and spending time with family and friends. I always look forward to connecting with our students and families and continuing to build the strong partnerships that make Walnut Canyon such a special place.

Here's to another year of learning, growth, creativity, and connection. I can't wait to see what we accomplish together.

Warmly,

Yalda Jamal
Principal, Walnut Canyon Arts & Technology Magnet School
