Dear Midvale Community,
My name is Gwen Frank, and I have had the privilege of serving as a building leader in education for the past eight years as both a principal and assistant principal. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to equity and ensuring that all students have access to high-quality education.
One of my passions has been working with dual language immersion programs for more than 13 years now, including my time as a teacher. Seeing students develop proficiency in multiple languages and cultures has been incredibly rewarding.
My journey in education actually began more than 20 years ago at Midvale Elementary where I started as a student teacher. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue working at Midvale now as your principal, and look forward to working together!
Sincerely,
Gwen Frank
