Principal's Message

Eric Hevland
Dear East Valley Central Middle School Community,
 
As we prepare for the 2025–2026 school year, I am excited to welcome both our returning staff and the new members joining the East Valley Central family. This year, we continue our commitment to fostering a deep sense of belonging across our school community.
 
Belonging is more than sharing a building—it’s about creating an inclusive, supportive, and safe environment where every student and staff member feels seen, heard, and valued. Our focus on inclusivity, meaningful relationships, and a secure learning environment will guide our work as we strengthen the culture and community of East Valley Central.
 
Together, we will ensure EVC is a place where students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
Let’s approach this new year with enthusiasm and purpose—building connections, celebrating our diverse strengths, and supporting every student’s success. Here’s to a year filled with growth, collaboration, and a genuine sense of belonging.
 
Eric Hevland
