Since Principal Shirley Williams arrived four years ago, Citrus has been transformed. She got rid of the dead wood on the teaching staff - and there was a lot of it - and hired fantastic new young excited teachers who are super tech-savvy and enthusiastic. There are tens of thousands of dollars of new books in the library and a new standard of behavior expectations. A partnership with a community group has resulted in two new computer labs and a student store where kids spend "power paws" they earn by going above and beyond the call of duty. Parents are participating in greater numbers as they feel welcomed and encouraged. There is a real family culture at the school and the kids are cherished.
