Principal's Message
Dear Albert Schweitzer Families,
I am thrilled to welcome you to a new and exciting school year at Albert Schweitzer! My name is Gelika Harrison, and I am honored to join this wonderful community as your new principal. Prior to this role, I served as the principal at Starr King TK-8, and have dedicated 25 years to education, with the last six years in administration.
As a proud resident of Carmichael, I feel deeply connected to our community. In my free time, I enjoy reading books, traveling, and staying active. I have one daughter who is 19 and currently attends Sierra Community College. Balancing family and professional life has given me a unique perspective that I bring into my role as your principal.
I firmly believe that education is a partnership between school and home. Our collective efforts and open communication are crucial in fostering a nurturing and supportive environment for our students. Together, we can ensure that every child at Albert Schweitzer thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.
I am eager to meet each of you and to work together to make this school year a successful one. Please feel free to find me around campus to say hello or discuss any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have. Let’s collaborate to create a positive and enriching experience for all our students.
Warm regards,
Gelika Harrison
Principal, Albert Schweitzer Elementary
