Assistant Principal’s Message

Dear Hialeah Elementary Families,
It is with great excitement and pride that I join the Hialeah Elementary School community for the 2025–2026 school year! After serving over 25 years with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, I am honored to bring my experience, dedication, and passion for education to this wonderful school.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with students, teachers, and families from diverse backgrounds. These experiences have taught me the importance of collaboration, compassion, and high expectations in helping every child succeed. I firmly believe that when we work together—as educators, families, and community partners—we create the strongest foundation for student growth and achievement.

At Hialeah Elementary, I am committed to supporting our students’ academic success, promoting a safe and positive school environment, and encouraging a love of lifelong learning. I look forward to partnering with Principal Rosa B. Iglesias, our exceptional teachers, and all of you to ensure that this school year is filled with meaningful learning experiences and joyful memories. Thank you for welcoming me into the Hialeah Elementary family. I am truly excited to begin this journey with you and to continue building on the proud traditions of excellence that make our school so special.


With warm regards,
Ms. Marisa Menendez
Assistant Principal
Hialeah Elementary School
