My name is Laura A. Galindo and I am the Principal of Glenoaks Elementary!
I began my career teaching third grade at John Glenn Elementary, and then moved to Adams Hill Elementary where I taught fourth grade for 11 years! I absolutely loved teaching and enjoyed every minute of it!
My educational journey finally brought me to Cable Elementary as the administrator intern, and then transitioned as the Associate Principal for two years.
Now, I am beyond honored to be the principal here at Glenoaks and be a part of this amazing community! I know that together, we will bring your student the best educational experience possible! I am ready to do the work necessary for Glenoaks, make a difference, and collaborate with the best staff, students, parents, and families here.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family & friends, playing racquetball, and being with my corgi dog, Lola.
Please feel free to contact me with questions, suggestions, or concerns!
