Principal’s Message
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year at Knights Point K-8!
As we begin another year together, I am filled with excitement and optimism for what lies ahead. At Knights Point, we believe that excellence is not an event—it is a habit. It is built through consistent effort, purposeful actions, and a commitment to growth each day.
Our theme this year, Igniting Excellence, challenges every member of our school community to take ownership of their learning, their actions, and their future. Excellence does not happen by chance. It begins when students choose to be engaged, when teachers create meaningful learning experiences, and when families partner with us to support student success.
At Knights Point, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and academically rigorous environment where every student is challenged to reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to ensure that students are not only prepared academically but also equipped with the skills, character, and confidence needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
As a school community, we will continue to focus on:
- High-quality instruction aligned to rigorous standards
- Student ownership of learning and goal setting
- Strong relationships built on respect and trust
- Safe, Respectful, and Responsible behavior
- Continuous improvement for students and staff
As principal of Knights Point K-8, I am incredibly proud of how far our school has come in the past two school years. Together, we have built a strong foundation, established a culture of high expectations, and created a school where students are encouraged to dream big and work hard.
This year, we challenge our students to embrace a simple but powerful message:
It Starts With Me.
Every choice matters. Every effort counts. Every day presents an opportunity to improve, grow, and move one step closer to excellence.
Thank you for trusting us with your child's education. We look forward to partnering with you throughout the year as we continue Igniting Excellence at Knights Point K-8.
Go Golden Knights!
Mr. Nathan DeRight
Principal
Knights Point K-8
