    Welcome to San Jose Elementary!

    Dear San Jose Elementary Families,

    It is with great enthusiasm that I join the San Jose Elementary community as your new principal. I am eager to embark on this journey alongside all of you and to support our students as they soar to excellence as Hawks.

    While I am new to San Jose Elementary, my roots in Pinellas County run deep. I was born and raised here, and I am a proud product of Pinellas County public schools, having attended from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Over the past two decades, I have had the privilege of serving in various roles within several Pinellas schools, including classroom teacher, Math Instructional Staff Developer, Assistant Principal, and now Principal.

    My educational journey includes graduating from both the University of Central Florida and the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg. These experiences have shaped my dedication to fostering a supportive and enriching environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

    Ms. Wignall and I are committed to working collaboratively with families to ensure that each child's educational experience is both positive and meaningful. Building strong, positive relationships with you is a priority for me as we work together to create a nurturing and successful school year.

    I am excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to meeting each of you. Together, let's make this school year one of growth, achievement, and joy for our students.

    Warm regards,

    Kathryn Gualtieri

    Dear San Jose Family,

    As we embark on another exciting school year, I am thrilled to greet you as Assistant Principal for my third year here at San Jose Elementary. Being part of this wonderful community fills me with immense pride.

    While I began my educational journey in Hawaii, my roots in Pinellas County run deep, having completed my elementary, middle, and high school education here. I proudly earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from the University of Florida (Go Gators!).

     My teaching career has taken me across the globe, from Italy to New Zealand, and for the past twelve years, I have had the privilege of contributing to Florida's educational landscape. Each stop along the way has enriched my understanding of effective educational and leadership practices.

     At San Jose, my goal is to instill a lifelong love of learning in our students and provide them with a high-quality education that prepares them for success in college, career, and life.

     I am excited to welcome Mrs. Katie Gualtieri to our San Jose family. Her expertise and passion for education will undoubtedly enhance our school community as we continue to grow and innovate together.

     Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead filled with learning, growth, and success for all!
