Meet the Administrators

Deerfield Beach Elementary Families and Community,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I am truly honored to serve as your new principal. It’s with great excitement and gratitude that I step into this role, and I look forward to growing alongside our incredible students, staff, and families in the year ahead.

This school year, our theme is Here We Grow, and it reflects our commitment to growing student achievement, building strong relationships, and striving for excellence in education. As we open our doors for a fresh new year, our focus remains on creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment where every child feels valued, challenged, and inspired.

At Deerfield Beach Elementary, our students are at the heart of every decision we make. We are committed to supporting them academically, socially, and emotionally as they grow into confident, curious, and capable learners. Equally important to academic growth is the power of connection. I look forward to getting to know each of our students and their families throughout the year. I believe that strong relationships between home and school are essential for student success, and I am eager to build those partnerships with you.

This year, you can expect a year full of opportunities to connect, celebrate, and support our students together. From curriculum nights and literacy events to family fun nights and celebrations, I hope to see you on campus often. These moments allow us to create joyful memories and strengthen the vibrant, inclusive community that makes DBES so special.

Please stay connected by visiting our school website and following us on Instagram for important updates, announcements, and glimpses into life at DBES. My door is always open, and I welcome your questions, feedback, and ideas as we embark on this journey together.

Here’s to a year of learning and growth. Here We Grow, Deerfield Beach Elementary!

Warmly,
Michelle Griffiths
Principal, Deerfield Beach Elementary
