Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2026/27 school year at Heather Elementary! I am your new principal, coming to you from twelve years as a school administrator in the Cupertino Union School District, where I spent a lot of my time managing preschool, TK, and K-3 programs. I am really excited to bring my experience to San Carlos, and to learn from my new families and colleagues moving forward. San Carlos is a welcoming place to be, and if you're new to us, as I am, I am confident that you're going to feel the same.

For more information about our school and district, please examine our website, and particularly our For Families page. We are always available to answer your questions in person and via email.

I look forward to serving you and your children. Here's to a productive and joyful school year!

Yours in Education,
Adrienne Van Gorden
