Principal's Message

Dear Keppel Families,

On behalf of the entire Keppel staff, I welcome you to Mark Keppel Elementary School. As the new principal, I look forward to serving the students, parents and families that make up this wonderful community. I have served the Paramount community for over 28 years as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, curriculum specialist, and principal. I will work hard to continue the tradition of teamwork and success established at Keppel by building strong relationships with parents, students, staff, and community partners.

At Keppel, our dedicated and caring staff will ensure that your child receives the very best education. As a Safe and Civil School, we believe that all students should be able to learn and play in a safe and civil environment. To accomplish this, we continually teach our students about positive behaviors and attitudes through clear expectations and procedures. Our goal is to become the “Gold Standard” in service and education.

As principal, my doors are always open. Please feel free to stop in or make an appointment to discuss any concerns, suggestions, or ideas that will help our children succeed. I look forward to a wonderful school year filled with learning for all.

If you are interested in supporting our school, we invite you to join the Keppel PTA. We believe that the success of our students is greatly enhanced through a strong partnership with the community. For more information about our wonderful school, you can check out our website at https://keppel.pusdschools.net/. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 562-602-8028

Sincerely,

Michael Naruko

School Principal
