A Message from Our Principal

Dear Dorothy Hall Families,

It is an honor to serve as the principal of Dorothy Hall Elementary School for the upcoming 2025–2026 school year. With over 20 years of experience in education, I bring a heart for service, a passion for student success, and a deep commitment to our school community. Throughout my career as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, and assistant principal, I’ve had the opportunity to support students, families, and staff in meaningful ways that have shaped the leader I am today.

My leadership is rooted in servant leadership, empathy, and collaboration. I believe in the power of relationships and the importance of creating a positive, inclusive school culture where every child feels seen, supported, and capable of success. I am committed to continuing the important work already happening at Dorothy Hall by fostering inquiry-based learning, expanding STEM opportunities, and upholding the “Kids at Hope” philosophy.

What makes Dorothy Hall special is its rich traditions, strong parent partnerships, and dedicated staff. I feel incredibly fortunate to lead a school that values both academic excellence and the whole child. As someone who grew up in this community, I take great pride in serving the families of Yuma. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three daughters, who constantly remind me why the work we do in education matters.

I look forward to getting to know you and warmly welcoming you to the new school year.

Sincerely,

Luz Rubio

Luz Rubio, Principal
