Dear Uhland Elementary School Families,

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I introduce myself as the principal of Uhland Elementary School. I am truly honored to join this incredible community and look forward to partnering with our students, families, staff, and community members to make this an outstanding school year.

I bring more than 15 years of experience in education, including the past nine years serving in Hays CISD. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to serve in a variety of roles, including classroom teacher, ESL Specialist, Assistant Principal, and Academic Dean. Each of these experiences has strengthened my passion for supporting students, empowering educators, and building meaningful relationships with families.

I believe that every child deserves a safe, welcoming, and engaging learning environment where they are encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. At Uhland Elementary, I am committed to fostering a culture of high expectations, collaboration, and kindness while ensuring that every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their fullest potential.

As the school year begins, I encourage you to stay connected, get involved, and reach out whenever you have questions, ideas, or simply want to introduce yourself. My door is always open, and I value the opportunity to work alongside you in supporting our students.

Thank you for welcoming me to Uhland Elementary. I cannot wait to meet each of you and begin this exciting journey together. Here's to a fantastic school year filled with learning, growth, and success!

With gratitude,

Dr. Sara Sparks
Principal
Uhland Elementary School
