Dear Schroeder Families, Students, and Staff,

I am excited to welcome you to a brand-new school year at Schroeder College and Career Academy! As I begin my third year as your principal, I feel truly grateful for the opportunity to continue leading such a vibrant and committed community. Together, we have accomplished so much, and I know this year holds even greater possibilities for our students.

Last year, we celebrated tremendous academic growth, unforgettable experiences, and a deepened sense of connection across our campus. This year, we will build on that momentum by continuing our focus on AVID strategies, GATE, and Professional Learning Communities, as well as sharpening our commitment to data-driven instruction. These priorities ensure that every student receives the support, challenge, and encouragement they need to achieve their highest potential.

We will also continue to strengthen the Schroeder experience with events that bring us together as a school family. From classroom learning that sparks curiosity, to campus-wide traditions that create lasting memories, our goal is to ensure that each child feels inspired, supported, and proud to be a Mustang.

As we begin this new chapter, I want to thank you—our students, families, and staff—for the energy, care, and dedication you bring to our school each and every day. It is your passion and partnership that make Schroeder College and Career Academy a place where learning thrives.

I am thrilled to see what this year has in store for us and look forward to working alongside all of you as we continue to grow, learn, and lead the way—together.

Here’s to a remarkable 2025–2026 school year!

With Mustang Pride,
Rob Murdock
Principal
