Principal's Welcome
Dear Malaga Falcons and Families,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! I hope all of our Falcon families had a fun summer where great experiences were had and lasting memories were made. Malaga Elementary is ready to welcome our students back on campus, where they will engage in meaningful learning experiences and be given opportunities to show they are F.LY!
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.
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.
This year, we will continue to have a school-wide focus on visible learning, where we strive to provide a sound learning community in each classroom, develop a positive learning environment, and maintain high expectations for all learners. We also expect appropriate behavior and kindness to be shown at all times. 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
