Principal

🌟 Welcome to Geddes Elementary School!

A Message from Our Principal, Mrs. Carmen Caballero

Dear Geddes Families,

It is with great joy and heartfelt enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the new principal of Geddes Elementary School. My name is Mrs. Carmen Caballero, and I am honored to join this vibrant and dedicated community of learners, educators, and families.

I have proudly served the Baldwin Park Unified School District for the past 30 years, beginning my journey as a cheerleading coach at Baldwin Park High School. In 1995, I transitioned into teaching at Pleasant View Elementary, where I discovered my passion for nurturing young minds. My path then led me to Foster Elementary, where I served as a resource teacher and later as principal beginning in 2015.

As a proud product of this very community, having attended Holland Jr. High (now BP STEM Academy) and Baldwin Park High School, I carry a deep personal connection to our shared values and aspirations. I believe in the power of education to transform lives and in the importance of fostering a school environment where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

At Geddes, I look forward to building strong relationships with students, families, and staff. Together, we will continue to cultivate a culture of excellence, kindness, and curiosity. I am committed to listening, learning, and leading with integrity and compassion.

Thank you for welcoming me into your school family. I am excited for the journey ahead and can’t wait to meet each of you as we begin this new chapter together.
