New Principal!

Marks Elementary Families:
     My name is Sergio Padilla, and it is my honor to be joining the Marks Family as the Principal  for the 2024-25 school year.  To everyone who is returning to, or are joining the Mustang family for the first time - Welcome! I can’t wait to meet all of you and your students.

     Having graduated Dos Palos High School in 2004, I come to you as a lifelong resident and product of our school system.  Together, with my wife Samantha, and our two children, we call Dos Palos home.

     Most recently, I had the pleasure of serving as the Principal of Dos Palos Elementary.   However, since 2007, I have served the district in different positions that include a coach, substitute, special education teacher, administrator, and now, MES Principal.

     My goal for our students is to provide a safe and fun environment while they receive the best education possible.   I am a firm believer in the power of education and its ability in helping to transform lives and build better futures for students.
 
     More information will be coming soon regarding the start of the year, so be on the lookout.  If you don't already, please make sure to follow us on Facebook; facebook.com/MarksElementary.
 
     I am excited to serve the students, staff, and community of Dos Palos and look forward to a great year together!

With oceans of gratitude,
Sergio R. Padilla Jr
