Dear Parents & Guardians,

I am very excited to be the new principal at Bridges Preparatory Academy for the upcoming 2022-23 school year! I have had the opportunity to be a part of Bridges since 2008. My experience here has been positive and encouraging.

At Bridges Preparatory Academy, every scholar is supported on their journey to mastering the material and growing academically, socially, and emotionally by a team of dedicated educators. I know that we will reach our goal to become the premier school in Tiffin, OH.

We cannot do what we do each day without you, our school family. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful parent community, and your support makes a huge difference. Let us know how you would like to be involved to help make Bridges Preparatory Academy reach even greater heights!

Thank you all for your continued support of Bridges Preparatory Academy. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to working with you and seeing your child grow this year!  Fly Eagles Fly!

Sincerely,

Amy Lanier
Principal
