Principal's Message

Dear Sunrise Family,

I want to begin by sharing how incredibly thankful I am to serve as the Principal of Sunrise Elementary. In my years as a student, teacher, and parent, I have never experienced anything quite like being a Superstar.

Our staff is dedicated, joyful, and always ready to support one another through any circumstance.

Our students are talented, hard-working, and are shaping a strong, lasting culture of leadership and growth.

Our community consistently steps up to partner with us, helping ensure our students have an exceptional experience.

Together, we have built a foundation rooted in belonging, learning, growth, and fun. At the same time, we know there is still important work ahead as we strive toward our goals. If you would like to get involved or have ideas or feedback that could strengthen our school or community, I would love to connect.

Sunrise for Life!

Jim Ohlinger
