Principal

Dear Bartlett Elementary Families,

 I'm proud to serve as the principal of Bartlett Elementary. Before coming to Bartlett, I was a principal in Holly Area Schools.  I have previously taught kindergarten, first grade, and was a resource room teacher at the elementary and secondary levels. I live in Highland Township with my wife Lindsey and our two sons, Henry and Clark. I believe that strong, positive relationships are the foundation of an excellent educational experience. 

 My top priorities are to keep our students safe and grow each child to their potential. My vision for our students is to develop a community of leaders who are critical thinkers, creative problem-solvers, innovative, and contribute to the success of their community. I am passionate about empowering students to take ownership of their learning and school. I look forward to fostering an environment where students have strong connections to their classrooms and school and meaningful learning opportunities that develop a sense of purpose.  

I want to extend a warm welcome to our new families and students.  The Bartlett staff and community are wonderfully supportive. They make Bartlett a great place to learn and grow!

 Sincerely,

Ryan DeSana
Bartlett Elementary Principal
