Principal's Message
Dear Families, Students, Faculty, and Staff,
It is with tremendous pride, gratitude, and excitement that I welcome you to the 2026–2027 school year as the newly appointed Principal of Mater Academy at Lakes.
Becoming part of the Mater family is especially meaningful to me—not only as an educational leader, but also as a parent whose own children have had the opportunity to learn, grow, and create lasting memories within this incredible school community. I am deeply honored to serve a school with such a strong tradition of academic excellence, school pride, and commitment to student success.
As we begin The Next Chapter, I look forward to honoring the traditions that have made Mater Lakes exceptional while working together to build an even brighter future. My commitment is to lead with purpose, listen with an open heart, support our teachers and staff, strengthen partnerships with families, and ensure that every student feels valued, challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their fullest potential.
I believe the greatest schools are built through meaningful relationships and a shared commitment to excellence. Together, we will celebrate our accomplishments, embrace new opportunities, and continue creating an environment where students are proud to learn, teachers are empowered to lead, and families feel connected to our school community.
Thank you for entrusting us with the education and development of your children. I am excited to meet our students and families, work alongside our dedicated faculty and staff, and experience the traditions and spirit that make Mater Academy at Lakes such a special place.
The future is bright, and I am honored to begin this journey alongside each of you.
Here’s to The Next Chapter—one filled with achievement, growth, opportunity, and unforgettable moments.
With Bear Pride,
Geyler Castro
Principal
