New Ethan Allen Principal’s Message

Hello Allen Families!  

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Jamie Wells, and I am writing to express my excitement for joining Ethan Allen Elementary, as the new principal. I appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself before the students go to winter break. I have worked in the Garden Grove Unified School District for 20 years and actually started my teaching career as a GATE teacher at Ethan Allen. I spent 12 years at Allen before transitioning to the positions of Teacher on Special Assignment, Coach for new teachers, and then the GATE supervisor for the district. Most recently, I have been the principal at Stanford Elementary.  It is with enthusiasm that I bring my professional experience, passion for students and teaching to Ethan Allen Elementary School.

Each spring, Allen produces a musical as part of the Disney Musicals in Schools program.  This year we will be presenting “Frozen” with over 100 students participating as part of the cast, crew, and artistic staff.
