Vice Principal's Message

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Valley Middle School Community,

It is with immense excitement and gratitude that I introduce myself as the new Vice Principal of Valley Middle School. It is an honor to be stepping into this leadership role, and I am thrilled to be continuing my journey within Oakland after having served as a teacher here for many years.

I have always considered myself fortunate to be a part of this district. My time in the classroom has given me a deep appreciation for our students, our dedicated staff, and the incredible support we receive from our parents and community. I have seen firsthand the passion for learning that thrives in our hallways, and I am committed to fostering an environment where every student feels inspired to reach their full potential.

Each year, Valley Middle School celebrates a theme. This year’s theme is "Make Today Your Masterpiece." Our theme gives everyone the chance to approach every task, interaction, and moment with dedication and purpose. It means putting your best effort forward in all you do to create a day you can be proud of. Additionally, it provides an opportunity for individuals to start each day with a clean canvas, regardless of the outcomes of yesterday.

As we begin this new chapter, I am eager to collaborate with the community to ensure our school continues to be a place of academic excellence and personal growth. I believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for student success, and I look forward to working with the community to create a nurturing and inclusive environment for all.

I am ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, ideas, or just to say hello. Together, I know we can make this an exceptional year for our students.

Respectfully,

Mr. Travis J. Hunt

Vice Principal
