Meet Our Principal

Dear Royal High School Students and Families,

Welcome to a new and exciting school year at Royal High School! I am honored to serve as your principal and look forward to working together to ensure every Highlander has the opportunity to grow, achieve, and succeed.

Royal High School is committed to helping students develop the abilities and confidence to achieve success and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. Working together, our students, staff, parents, and community create high-quality programs that foster achievement in academics and co-curricular activities, guiding each student toward their fullest potential.

Our Commitment to the 4 A’s 
At Royal, we believe in educating the whole student through a balanced focus on Academics, Arts, Athletics, and Activities:

• Academics – We provide rigorous and relevant coursework designed to prepare students for success in college, career, and life.
• Arts – From visual arts to music, theater, and digital media, our programs inspire creativity, expression, and innovation.
• Athletics – We encourage physical fitness, teamwork, and perseverance through our competitive sports programs.
• Activities – Our wide range of clubs, leadership opportunities, and student-led initiatives foster collaboration, responsibility, and school spirit.

Together, these four pillars help our students develop into well-rounded adults with the skills, confidence, and adaptability needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
I am excited to partner with each of you as we work toward another year of learning, growth, and memorable experiences. Let’s make it a great year to be a Highlander!

Sincerely,

Reina Zapata
Principal
Royal High School
