As the proud Principal of Ethel Koger Beckham K-8 Center, I want to welcome you to our school! It is an honor to work together with such highly qualified and dedicated staff as well as our amazing students and supportive families. We are honored that you have entrusted your children to us and can be confident in knowing your child’s safety, academic progress, and emotional well-being are our priority.

We take great pride in the exemplary learning environment, high standards and expectations, that have always been a staple at our school, thus consistently earning us the designation of “A” School and a School of Excellence by the Florida Department of Education.  On a national level, our school has been the recipient of the much-coveted National Blue-Ribbon School designation in the category of Exemplary High Performing School awarded by the US Department of Education.  We have also been recognized and ranked by US News and World Reports as a top Elementary and Middle School in the state of Florida. We believe that the success of our students and school depends on all of our stakeholders, the parents, teachers, staff, students and the community. Each stakeholder has an important role, and when we all come together, continued success will be achieved.

As we celebrate our many achievements, be confident in knowing that our faculty and staff will continue to be dedicated to your child’s progress and committed to our school mission of “Nurturing Every Child’s Potential.”

I am committed to working with all our Beckham families, students, faculty, and staff as we continue on the path of new achievements and continued student success.

Sincerely,

Cecilia C. Sanchez, Principal
