I’m honored to serve as your principal and to be part of such a vibrant and caring school community. Rancho Cañada is a truly special place, filled with dedicated staff, supportive families, and incredible students. Together, we are committed to fostering a safe, kind, responsible, and respectful learning environment where every student can SOAR.

As principal, I always put students first. I believe that by supporting our staff and working closely with families, we can help every child reach their fullest potential. You can support your child—and our entire school—by speaking positively about school, reading together every night, and joining us at school events throughout the year.

I grew up in Mission Viejo and graduated from UC Santa Barbara (Go Gauchos!).  In my free time, you’ll find me hanging out with my husband (also an educator), four children, and two golden retrievers.  I love the beach, supporting my family in their many activities, and reading great books.

I’m looking forward to a fantastic year ahead and can’t wait to get to know each of our amazing Eagles.

With excitement,
Kristin Fowler
Principal, Rancho Cañada Elementary
