Hello and welcome to Heather Glen Montclair (HGM) Elementary!

I’m Mrs. Garcia, proud principal of HGM and honored to serve this incredible school community during a meaningful and exciting time. As we bring together two vibrant school communities, we are not only building a bridge to a new campus, but we are also honoring the strengths, stories, and traditions of both. This unique season celebrates who we’ve been and who we’re becoming.

Heather Glen Montclair is more than a name; it’s a powerful reminder that we are stronger together. Our students, staff, and families bring diverse experiences and shared values that make this a place of belonging, growth, and excitement. I believe deeply in creating a school where every child is seen, safe, and inspired, because when students feel valued, they’re ready to thrive.

We’re not just building a school, we’re building a legacy that will carry us into a bright future. As we prepare for the opening of Linda L. Griffin Elementary, the work we do now is shaping the culture, community, and excellence that will define us for years to come.

Thank you for being part of this journey. The best is yet to come!
