    Hello, Walt Disney Families,

     

    My name is Dr. Ernesto Ortiz, Jr. and I am truly honored and blessed to be joining the Pennsbury School District as the new Principal of Walt Disney Elementary School. 

     

    Over the past 22 years, I have worked in the Allentown School District as an elementary teacher and an assistant principal and in the Centennial School District as an elementary principal. I also spent time with the AIM Institute, a non-profit organization that provides professional development and consulting in the Science of Reading and Structured Literacy. 

     

    I live with my wife, Ashley Ortiz and our three children Julian, Adriana and Nicholas. As for my interests and hobbies, I consider myself to be very health conscious, enjoy sports, technology, and adding to my bow tie collection!

     

    Over my career, I have established core beliefs and values which have supported my growth as an educational leader. I believe in building positive relationships, I believe in the power of collaboration, I believe in having high expectations of myself, students, and staff. I truly believe in effective communication, transparency, and making decisions in the best interest of students. These core beliefs and values have helped me become the educational leader and person I am today.

     

    I am beyond excited to join Walt Disney Elementary School! I look forward to working with the students, faculty, staff, families, and the rest of the Walt Disney community to make this year a magical year for everyone!

     

    Your proud principal,

    Dr. Ortiz
