Principal

Welcome to Spanish Springs Elementary School!

It is my absolute honor to serve as the principal of Spanish Springs Elementary School, home of the Otters! At SSES, we believe that every child has the potential to achieve great things when surrounded by a caring community, engaged families, and dedicated educators. Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and challenging learning environment that inspires curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning.

We are committed to high-quality instruction, strong relationships, and the belief that all students can grow and succeed. Our staff works collaboratively to provide engaging, rigorous lessons that meet the needs of all learners while also focusing on the social and emotional development that is so essential to lifelong success.

Partnership with families is at the heart of what we do. We encourage open communication, involvement in school events, and a shared commitment to student success. Together, we can ensure that our Otters are not only academically prepared but also confident, kind, and resilient.

Whether you are a returning family or new to our school community, we are excited for the journey ahead. Let’s make this year one filled with growth, celebration, and unforgettable learning experiences.

Proud to be an Otter,
Daniel Kirk
Principal, Spanish Springs Elementary School
