Principal's Welcome
Dr. Hank Gutierrez, Principal
Welcome to Malaga Elementary, home of the Falcons! At Malaga Elementary, we believe in creating an equitable and inclusive environment where all students experience joy and learn at the highest levels. Our staff takes pride in holding high standards while providing students with the necessary tools to reach those standards. As a product of Fowler Unified School District, I understand the value of relationships between the staff, the students, and the community. I realize those relationships are essential as we strive to propel our students to high school graduation, as well as college and career goals. The Malaga history of success speaks for itself as we have recently been honored with the California Honor Roll award and the California Distinguished School award, one of 13 schools in Fresno County to qualify based on state assessment scores.
We will continue our tradition of strong service learning and character development as we look to positively impact the Malaga community and the entire Fowler Unified School District. All Malaga Elementary students will participate in some type of service learning project in order to give back to others and their community. We are a proud recipient of the Bonner Center for Character Education Award, which is a testament to our district's dedication to our civic and character education.
As your new principal, I am eager to collaborate with each of you as we strive to reach our academic and school-wide goals, ultimately building long-term success for each and every Malaga Elementary student. As always, we will uphold the spirit of the "Falcon Family" as we honor respect and compassion, a positive culture, and a sense of belonging for all Malaga Elementary students.
Sincerely, Dr. Hank Gutierrez
