Dear Community,

Welcome to Toledo Preparatory Academy!  Toledo Preparatory Academy is a learning community that values high expectations for both academics and behavior.  Our staff embraces students, families, and communities to build and develop well-rounded individuals who are independent critical thinkers, and intrinsically motivated to be lifelong learners. We believe that all children can learn as we seek to make a difference in the lives of our students.

The teachers and staff at Toledo Preparatory Academy are committed to providing a quality education for all students in a safe, secure, and nurturing learning environment. We are committed to ensuring that each child reaches his/her full potential.

In addition to core academic subjects, Toledo Preparatory Academy students have the benefit of weekly art and physical education classes. Special services available to students include special education, literacy support, and counseling.

We encourage all parents/guardians to maintain regular communications with their child’s teachers and be actively involved in the school community.  Checking the school calendar, website, and our Facebook page for events and activities will help keep you informed. We are looking forward to meeting your child and helping foster a love of learning.

Sincerely,
The Toledo Prep Administrative Team

She earned her Bachelor’s of Education Degree from Florida Southern College and earned her Master’s in Leadership from the University of Florida.  While Mrs. Garcia loved being in the classroom and it was difficult to leave the classroom, she has found that in her new role, working with the students, the parents, and the teachers has been extremely rewarding.  She looks forward to working with the staff, students and parents as the Principal and looks forward to making a difference and making Toledo Preparatory Academy the great school she knows it can be.

In addition to my academic background, I hold a long list of certifications in intelligence, security, and leadership, which have further sharpened my skills and prepared me for a range of professional challenges. My diverse background spans military service, education, and security, and I’ve had the opportunity to apply the knowledge and expertise from each field in various roles.
