Principal’s Message

Welcome to Aspire Port City Academy!

At Port City, we are proud to serve our students, families, and community with a strong commitment to academic growth, belonging, and student success. Our school is a place where children are known, supported, and challenged to grow as readers, writers, thinkers, and leaders.

For the 2026–2027 school year, our focus is on strengthening literacy and helping students take ownership of their learning. We believe that when students understand their goals, reflect on their progress, and are supported by caring adults at school and at home, they develop the confidence and skills they need to succeed.

We value our partnership with families and welcome them as active members of our school community. Together, we can create a learning environment where every student feels connected, capable, and ready for the future.

Sincerely,
Shelby Dean Schmidt
Principal, Aspire Port City Academy
