Welcome to STEAM Academy!

Strive to be the best FOR the world, not IN the world.”

I am excited to be at STEAM Academy for the 2024-25 school year!

My mission as your principal is also my passion: to maintain and grow a rigorous teaching and learning environment that provides every student with a sense of belonging while helping students to grow intellectually, emotionally and socially even in these unusual circumstances. It is critical to every student’s success that they promote from middle school with the skills necessary to pursue and achieve their goals and dreams. 

It is important to me to have an open-door policy and ongoing, open communication.  I know STEAM to be a highly engaging, wonderful experience for students and I want to make sure you and your student have a positive experience and get the most out of what our school has to offer. 

As the above quote states, “Strive to be the best FOR the world, not IN the world.” I am a firm believer in working together for the betterment of all our students’ lives. 
There is no “I” in “TEAM“: Together Everybody Achieves More! 
I am looking forward to this school year and working with your students and you. 

Sincerely,
Andrea Radmilovich, aka “Rad
Principal, STEAM Academy

Q&a Immigration

LMSV Update – Q&A about Immigration Enforcement

Dear LMSV Families,

We have heard from many in our school communities who are very concerned about the newly enacted immigration enforcement policies at the federal level. Yesterday, I responded to a reporter's questions about how the school district plans to deal with immigration enforcement efforts, and I thought it would help to share these responses with all of you. Please see below.

Gratefully yours,

David Feliciano
