Hello Jaguar Nation,

I am so excited to have the opportunity to be your new principal. It is my hope and personal expectation to continue the traditions of excellence that our staff, scholars, and Principal Donna Hall established over the years and to lead efforts to advance our scholars towards even greater achievements.

Prior to joining the Bay Vista Fundamental staff, I have served as a mathematics teacher at Lakewood High School, an assistant principal at both Hollins High School and Pinellas Park Middle School, the Manager of Talent Acquisition for the school district, and most recently as the principal of John Hopkins Middle School. Whether I was a classroom teacher, an assistant principal, lead recruiter, or principal, my focus has been to build positive scholar and staff relationships, accelerate scholar achievement, and establish a positive school culture and climate.

I look forward to meeting you. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Best Regards,

Carlmon Jones, Principal
