Since 1985, Mims Elementary has had four princpipals. Our first principal, Hurla Midkiff, was a longtime successful educational leader who established the foundations of success for the school. Our second school principal, Mrs. Alicia Rios continued the formula, compelementing exisitng programs with an innovative style. She was followed by our third Principal, Mr. Joel Garcia. Yvonne Zamora, our school's fourth prinicpal, served our campus for over twenty years and left a lasting impact at Mims. Our current school principal, Esteban Lucio, comes to our campus with a wealth of knowledge and leadership experience. He strives to continue the success and commitment of Mims Elementary as an exemplary campus. We look foward to the new initiaves that will embark our school in a contued path of success. All five prinicpals have led Mims in achieving goals for academic success in balancing curriculum by including tehcnology, physical and social development, and extra-curricular activities.
