Principal's Message

Greetings Raney Families!

 I am incredibly excited and honored to introduce myself as the new Principal of Raney Intermediate School! I cannot wait to begin this journey with our students, staff, and families and officially become part of the Raney community.

 This year marks my 21st year in the Corona-Norco Unified School District, and I feel incredibly fortunate to begin this next chapter at Raney. Throughout my career, I have served as a classroom teacher in both primary and upper grades, a literacy instructional coach, an assistant principal, and most recently, the proud principal of Coronita Elementary School.

 At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: students deserve a school where they feel known, supported, challenged, and excited to learn. I am passionate about creating a school community where students experience joy and belonging while also being challenged to reach their highest academic potential. One of the things I am most excited about is getting to know YOU! I look forward to meeting our students and families, hearing what you love about Raney, and learning about the traditions and experiences that make this community special.

 Please don't ever hesitate to reach out, ask a question, share an idea, or simply say hello.

 I am so excited for what is ahead. Let’s make it an incredible year, Knights! This year is going to ROCK!

 Sincerely,

Ms. Cortez
