Dear Hemmerling Families and Community,
It is with a mix of gratitude and heartfelt reflection that I share my professional transition. After six incredibly rewarding years as Principal at Hemmerling Elementary, I will be moving into a new role as Principal at Central Elementary School. While this marks a new chapter in my professional journey, Hemmerling will forever remain close to my heart.
Together, we have faced challenges that tested us, including the difficulties brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the pivot to distance learning. But through resilience, unity, and dedication, we also celebrated tremendous accomplishments—exiting Program Improvement and gaining significant growth. These milestones are evidence of the hard work of our staff, the support of our families, and the strength of our students. Hemmerling has grown into a model of perseverance and progress. The care and commitment you have shown to our Mustangs and the broader community are the foundation of that success. I am deeply proud of what we have accomplished together.
Though I may be stepping into a new role, this is not a farewell. We remain one Banning community, united in our dedication to our students and their futures. It has been an honor to serve as the proud Principal of Hemmerling, and I carry with me every memory and every lesson learned from our shared journey.
As we look ahead, I am pleased to introduce Mr. Johnny Baker as Hemmerling’s new Principal. Mr. Baker brings strong leadership, a heart for students, and a passion for education that I know will resonate deeply within our school community. I am confident that he will continue to foster the culture of excellence and belonging we’ve worked so hard to build. I kindly ask that you welcome him with the same warmth and partnership you have so generously extended to me.
Thank you for entrusting me with your children, your hopes, and your partnership.
With deep appreciation,
Ileana Gutierrez, Ed.D
Principal, Hemmerling Elementary
