Dear Parents and Students,
It is an honor and privilege to be the principal of Potomack Intermediate School, and I have been inspired by the great work accomplished here. As we continue to move forward following a year of many challenges and uncertainties, the staff at Potomack Intermediate will continue to commit to strengthening relationships, emotional well-being, and academic excellence. We make it our mission to provide a quality and equitable educational experience for all, with the more than 800 families we serve in this community. We are a school made up of caring educators who care about the people and the mission.
It is an honor, joy, and privilege to serve this community. Thank you for trusting me, our administrative team, teachers, and support staff to lead us. We are excited to welcome our students and families back for an incredible school year, and we are ready to embrace the pride and tradition of Potomack Intermediate School where the Potomack Eagles SOAR high!
Sincerely,
Craig Arch, Ed.D., Principal
