Principal's Message

Dear MS358 Family,

As your new Principal, I want to express my deep appreciation for the dedication and passion that fuel our school community. It’s an exciting time of growth, discovery, and possibility—and I’m honored to lead alongside such committed students, families, and staff.

At the heart of our school are our core values: F.I.R.E. – Fellowship, Integrity, Resilience, and Excellence. These values guide everything we do, shaping a learning environment where every student feels supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential.

As a proud Magnet School, we offer an enriched curriculum grounded in S.T.E.A.M. – Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics. Our integrated approach fosters curiosity, innovation, and problem-solving, empowering students to become tomorrow’s leaders and thinkers.

We are also proud members of Magnet Schools of America, and we uphold their five pillars:

• Diversity
• Innovative Curriculum and Professional Development
• Academic Excellence
• High-Quality Instructional Systems
• Family and Community Partnerships

These pillars are more than principles—they are our promise to every student and family.

Our primary focus remains clear: to help each student graduate on or above grade level, fully prepared to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Thank you for being part of our school family. Let’s make this a year of joy, growth, and achievement—together.

With gratitude and FIRE,

Amr Elkarany

Principal, MS358Q
