Grace Sanchez – Principal, Teacher K-5
Grace holds a Master’s degree in Teaching with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction. She also carries a California State Teaching Credential, an SDA Professional Certificate, and a California Administrative Services Credential (Principal Certification). Her guiding philosophy is grounded in her belief that “a quality education in a Christ-filled environment” can change the course of a child’s life. She deeply values the connection between a child’s spiritual growth and their academic and social development.
As she often reflects, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) — a verse that captures the heart of her mission. She sees her role not only as an educator, but as a builder of strong, faith-filled foundations that prepare children for life’s challenges and joys.
Beyond the classroom, Grace is an enthusiastic advocate for STEAM education and healthy lifestyles. Through her volunteer work with the STEAM Outreach Program, she has partnered with government and professional organizations to promote science literacy in underrepresented San Diego communities. She has also proudly contributed to events such as the San Diego State University Robotics Fair.
Today, Grace makes her home in Paso Robles with her husband, Rich. In her free time, she loves reading, running, cooking, hiking, and exploring new places — always eager to keep learning, growing, and living life with purpose and passion.
