A Message from Principal Gofonia
Dear Emerson Families and Community,
I’m honored and excited to introduce myself as the new principal of Emerson Elementary School. Since 2006, I’ve served as an administrator in the Phoenix Elementary School District, and I’m thrilled to now join the Emerson community—a school rich in history, heart, and promise.
Located in the Coronado Historic Neighborhood, Emerson holds a special place in our district and in the broader Phoenix story. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve a school rooted in tradition and focused on building a bright future for all learners.
