Ms. Mandy Sheets

Dear Sunrise Elementary School Community,

It is truly an honor to be named the principal of Sunrise Elementary School! 

For the past five years, I have had the privilege of serving the Cimarron Elementary School community and before that I was grateful to support and learn alongside the incredible communities of Dakota Valley and Mission Viejo as their Assistant Principal.  No matter where I call home, my passion for working with elementary students and families drives my work.  I believe our young people have so much to offer our world, and my job as an educator is to help them develop the skills they need to blaze their own unique path.  One of my favorite things about being an educator is watching young learners gain confidence in themselves and grow as people. The staff at Sunrise are incredible and I am excited to work alongside them as well as partner with you as we guide your amazing students into the future. I am grateful to be a part of their journeys. 

There is so much joy that happens in an elementary school and I am excited to help foster that love of learning and join your incredible community. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you. Please feel free to reach out and introduce yourself! 

Your partner in education,

Mandy Sheets
