Welcome to what promises to be an incredible school year!  I am truly excited about the journey ahead and all the meaningful learning experiences we will share together with our amazing students and families.


At Ocoee Elementary, we believe in the power of teamwork, community, and high expectations.  Our motto, “Ocoee Elementary Takes Flight: Soaring to New Heights Together,” perfectly captures our shared commitment to helping every child grow, learn, and thrive.


As Cardinals, our students are courageous, creative, and capable of soaring far beyond limits.  I’m honored to work alongside a team of exceptionally talented and passionate educators who put students at the heart of everything they do. Together, we will continue building a positive, supportive, and engaging learning environment where each child feels valued and inspired. 


I look forward to a year filled with growth, discovery, and celebration.  Let’s take flight and soar to new heights—together!
 

Best Regards, 

Kandace Goshe
