Dear Ira Harbison Families,

It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter of introduction as the new Principal of Ira Harbison Elementary. I am looking forward to a wonderful school year ahead and couldn’t be happier to be joining the National School District family and the dedicated staff here at Ira. 

I recently spent three years as an Assistant Principal at an elementary school in Wilmette, Illinois and previously served as a Vice Principal at King-Chávez Academy of Excellence in Barrio Logan. Before stepping into school leadership I spent nine years in the elementary classroom in San Diego, my hometown. 

I believe in a student-centered approach to education that focuses on the whole child. I value communication and teamwork in order to provide the best learning environment for each and every student. I’m eager to partner with you to ensure your child has a successful year ahead.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions, concerns, and celebrations. I’m excited to meet and work with each of you and the Ira community as a whole. Thank you for the opportunity to work with your child.

Sincerely,

Ms. Meghann Young, Principal
