Principal Message
Welcome to Sunset Elementary School!
My Name is Kathy Keegan and I am thrilled to serve as the Principal of Sunset Elementary. It is an honor to lead such an incredible learning community, one that values diversity, inclusion, academic excellence, and the social-emotional well-being of every student.
Being a principal is one of the most rewarding roles because it allows me to build strong, meaningful relationships with students, families, and staff. These connections form the foundation for both academic achievement and personal growth, and I look forward to partnering with you to support every child’s success.
A few fun facts about me… I love spending time with my three daughters, reading a book in the sunshine or by a fire, cooking, cheering on my favorite sports teams, and visiting my family in Colorado.
