Principal's Message

Candace Culpepper, Principal

Greetings and Welcome to Richard C. Spoto High School, Home of the Spartans!

I am both honored and excited to serve as the new principal of Spoto High School. As we embark on this new school year, I am looking forward to seeing our students excel not only in academics but also in a wide range of extracurricular activities.

At Richard C. Spoto High, we firmly believe that it takes a village to nurture well-rounded students. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to fostering an environment of growth and success, but we also recognize that the support of our families and community plays an essential role in our students' achievements.

We invite you to become an active part of our school community. There are many ways you can get involved, from volunteering through our county website to joining our School Advisory Council (SACC) or participating in our Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA). Your involvement truly makes a difference.

Together, let's make this year a memorable and successful one for our Spartans!

Sincerely,

Candace Culpepper, Principal
