It is with a heavy heart that I inform you I will be resigning from my position as principal of HPMS at the end of the school year. This was not an easy decision to make. I have enjoyed my time here at Harvest Park and continue to be impressed by the dedication of the staff and the support of the parents and families. Harvest Park is an amazing community, and it has been a privilege to be part of such an incredible school.

There are many exciting opportunities on the horizon at HP that will have a positive impact on learning, including our student device roll out and our FLEX period. I will continue to plan and prepare for next school year, so that my successor and the school is prepared for the exciting things coming. I’ll be working with the District, who will reach out regarding next steps. I will also work with whomever is selected for the position to ensure a smooth transition.

I continue to be grateful for your partnership and support, and look forward to working with you through the end of the school year.
Sincerely,
Robin Munsell, Principal
