 Our principal, Dr.Roni Facen, is unlike any principal I’ve ever had. She’s young and outgoing, relatable and caring, and just beautiful inside and out. She was a student here at SFDS during her high school years, and felt a calling to come back home to the school as Principal. She does a great job of managing and leading, and has brought a lot of changes and optimism to the school. I choose her because overall she is a great inspiration to us all, and serves as an example of what hard work and a good heart can get you!
