Happy Principal’s Day to our extraordinary leader, Vicki Crain!

With 36 years in education, Mrs. Crain has dedicated her career to shaping the lives of students, staff, and families in the most meaningful ways. From the very beginning, she has been a cornerstone of Cactus Ranch Elementary, opening our doors in 2001 as assistant principal and stepping into her role as principal in 2004.

Under her leadership, Cactus Ranch has grown into a top 10 school, a reflection of her unwavering commitment to excellence. She has left a lasting mark through innovative initiatives like the School of Communication and the implementation of our beloved house system. Both of which have helped define the culture and success of our campus.

As she prepares to retire this year, we celebrate not only her incredible accomplishments, but the heart, vision, and passion she has poured into our school community. Her impact will be felt for years to come, and she will be deeply missed by all who have had the privilege of learning and working alongside her.

Thank you, Mrs. Crain, for everything you have given to Cactus Ranch. 💛

If your idea of a good time is hitting 4 different stores, circling the parking lot like it’s the Indy 500, and wrestling over the last pack of glue sticks… by all means, go live your best life.

But if you’d rather keep your sanity, skip the crowds, and have everything magically handled for you… we got you. 🙌

Order your EPI School Supply Pack, avoid the chaos, and show up on day one like the organized legend you are.

Deadline: 5/19
School ID: CAC009

You can fight the crowds… or you can be smarter than them. Your call. 😌✏️
