Principal’s Message

Welcome to your Excelsior Campus!

My name is Michael Moore and I am honored to serve as your principal here at Excelsior’s North Victorville site.

Looking back at myself as a student in high school: I, in all honesty, did not embrace education! A big part of my personal “resilience” was my own high school experience. Too often, I met teachers who discouraged me by looking at misses rather than successes; Teachers who were stressing failure rather than helping me thrive. Instead of proving those teachers wrong, I gave in and fulfilled their prophecies.

My life changed after graduation: Through trade school and my apprenticeship, I found a passion. I realized that I was good at something. I excelled!

Something similar happened when I moved to the United States and started my academic journey. A journey that not only opened my eyes to the power of education, but a journey that made me find my new passion: Educational success for all students!

My philosophy is simple: Encourage students and help them find their passion(s) by making students thrive!
