Principal's Message
Mr. Watts
Principal 
Grand Prairie East

I am both honored and humbled to serve you as campus principal.  I do not take this role lightly.  This will be my first year with Advantage Academy Grand Prairie East (AAGPE), and I am excited about the many wonderful opportunities that this school year will bring each of us.  I look forward to partnering with each of you to Build Champions with a Future and a Hope.

Family engagement is very important to student success.  It takes a partnership between the school and home to help each child reach their full potential.  We will have many opportunities over the year for each of you to be a part of your student's education.  Your input is welcomed.  If we work together, we will prepare all students for their future success!
