From Principal Fischer

With over 20 years of dedicated service in education, I am honored to serve as the principal of Ellis School for the third year. I am committed to building strong partnerships with families, staff, and the broader community to ensure our students receive the support and resources they need to succeed. Together, we celebrate diversity, promote equity, and create a safe and inclusive school environment.

From Assistant Principal Malcolm

Ms. Malcolm has been an educator for 15 years. I was born in Levittown, PA but moved to Sunnyvale early in my childhood. I love working in the school district that I attended growing up! I began my career at Vargas Elementary and since then, have held a variety of positions in the Sunnyvale School District. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, reading, and watching sports. I am thrilled to be a part of the Ellis community!
