Mrs. Cox’s Farewell Message
Dear San Tan Recker Families,
As this chapter comes to a close, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for welcoming me into this incredible community. Serving as principal of the Recker Campus has been a great honor and I will always be grateful for the relationships, memories, and moments we’ve shared here.
When I reflect on my time here, there are so many moments that make me smile. I’ll never forget standing outside together during the solar eclipse of 2024 (right after I started) and watching our students for the first time. I still laugh thinking about the Winter 2024 Decades/Genre concert when parents enthusiastically sang along to “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” with our students – a moment perfectly capturing the fun and joy of our community.
I’ll also remember celebrating our very first Patriot Day in September 2025 and seeing our campus come together with such pride, school spirit, and sense of belonging. And of course, surprising the students with inflatables during the December 2025 Jingle Jog and the traditional surprise recess after the April fire drill when we’ve completed state testing. And how could I forget the entire school singing me happy birthday!
Beyond the events and celebrations, I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished together academically. Being recognized as an “A” rated school for two consecutive years is a testament to the dedication of our teachers, staff, students, and families. That success belongs to this entire community.
Thank you for your trust, your support, and the opportunity to serve your children each day. San Tan – Recker is a truly special place, and I’m excited to carry this community and spirit with me to the Signal Butte Campus.
With gratitude,
Katie Cox
