Director's Message

  • Dear Families,
     
    As the Director of the Bridgeport Regional Aquaculture Science and Technology Education Center, I am thrilled to welcome you to a new school year! Our team is excited to embark on this journey with your children, guiding them towards achieving their academic, career, and personal goals.
     
    I have had the privilege of working in Bridgeport Public Schools for over 10 years, serving as a math and computer science teacher, dean of students, and assistant principal before joining Aquaculture. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, a Master of Science in Secondary Education, and a certification in Administration. These experiences have equipped me with the skills and insights needed to support our students in their educational journeys.
     
    At our center, we are committed to providing a dynamic and supportive learning environment where students can explore their interests in aquaculture, science and technology. Our dedicated faculty and staff are here to inspire and challenge students, helping them to develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their future endeavors.
     
    This year, we have an array of exciting programs and initiatives planned that will offer students hands-on experiences and opportunities to engage with real-world applications of their studies. From our state-of-the-art labs to our fieldwork projects, we aim to ignite a passion for learning and discovery in every student.
     
    We believe that education is a collaborative effort, and we value the partnership between our school and your family. Together, we can support our students in reaching their full potential. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns throughout the year.
     
    Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to a successful and inspiring school year ahead!
     
    Warm regards,
     
    Maggie Oquendo
    Director, Bridgeport Regional Aquaculture Science and Technology Education Center
