Dear Florida Pitt Waller ECE-8 School Community,
I am thrilled to introduce myself, Robert Savage, as your new principal at Florida Pitt Waller ECE-8 School. With a deep-rooted commitment to educational excellence and community engagement, I am honored to join this esteemed institution at a time of exciting transition.
As a Colorado native with almost three decades in public education, including ten years as principal at Kemp Elementary, I bring a wealth of experience in fostering a positive school culture and empowering students to achieve their highest potential.
At Kemp Elementary, we achieved significant milestones through collaboration and dedication. We transformed challenges into opportunities and celebrated our achievements as a community. I am committed to bringing this spirit of collaboration and excellence to Florida Pitt Waller.
Let me share a bit about myself: I am fortunate to be a father of three incredible children, all fluent in Spanish—a language they’ve inherited from our close ties to Central America. Last spring, our family was blessed with the addition of a grandson. Spending time with my family is a very high priority for me. Beyond family life, I am an enthusiastic supporter of the Denver Broncos, cheering them each season. My love for travel, particularly in Central America, is deeply rooted in my father’s time living in Costa Rica. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of exploring the region extensively, immersing myself in its vibrant cultures and natural beauty.
Based on my experiences, I deeply resonate with the core values of Florida Pitt Waller, embodied in the B.I.S.O.N. principles: Be Respectful, Independent, Safe, On Task, and Neighborly. These values will guide us as we work together to create a supportive environment where every student can thrive academically and personally.
This year marks a period of transition for our school, with new leadership and staff members joining our community. I see this change as a positive opportunity filled with hope and new possibilities. Together, we will build on the strong foundation already in place and shape an even brighter future for our students.
I am eager to meet each of you and to embark on this journey together. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, ideas, or concerns. Together, we will make a positive difference in the lives of our students and in our school community.
Thank you for your warm welcome. Inspired by the groundbreaking legacy of Florida Pitt Waller, I am committed to honoring her trailblazing spirit as we embark on this journey together.
Warm regards,
Robert Savage
Principal
Florida Pitt Waller ECE-8 School
