Principal's Message

Sarah Jacobsen Capps, principal of Lomax Elementary School

Dear Families, Students, and Community Members,

As the proud principal (and alumni) of Lomax Elementary Magnet School, I am honored to lead a school community that values academic excellence and meaningful relationships. We are committed to providing a safe and engaging learning environment where students are challenged to reach their highest potential.

Through our 4 Es of Magnet (Enrichment, Exploration, Expeditions and Electives), our team of educators work collaboratively to nurture the individual strengths of every child.

At Lomax, we are ONE PRIDE. We believe that education is a partnership between school, home, and the community. We invite families to join our PTA and School Advisory Council, and to be active participants here at Lomax.

Thank you for visiting our website and for your continued support. Together, we will make this school year a successful and memorable one!

Sincerely,

Sarah Jacobsen Capps

Principal

Expeditions create learning through hands-on experiences, and real-world adventures. Enrichment enhances academic and personal development by opportunities that challenge, inspire, and broaden students’ perspectives.
