Recognizing Pride Month - June 2026

Throughout June, we celebrate the diversity, resilience, and contributions of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Sea to Sky School District is committed to fostering welcoming, inclusive, and safe learning environments where every student, staff member, and family feels valued, respected, and supported. Together, we continue to build schools where everyone can learn, belong, and thrive.

Creating spaces where everyone feels seen, respected, and a true sense of belonging is central to who we are as a school district. To learn more about our approach to SOGI-inclusive education, we invite parents and caregivers to explore our SOGI FAQs by clicking the headline of this news story.

Principal's message

Welcome to Mamquam Elementary. I feel very proud to serve as the Principal of this caring and inclusive school community. At Mamquam, I want every child to feel safe, valued, and like they truly belong. I believe strong relationships are at the heart of a positive school experience, and I care deeply about creating a school where students feel seen, supported, and celebrated for who they are.
My professional passions include inclusive practices, student well-being, equity, and building strong connections in our school community. These values shape the way I lead and the way we work together as a school. Guided by our Raven Values — Community Minded, Thinker, and Communicator — we strive to create a culture of kindness, belonging, respect, and care for the whole child.
I am grateful to be part of the Mamquam community and to work alongside such wonderful students, staff, and families each day. Thank you for being part of our school.
