PRINCIPAL

Great Neck Public Schools
E.M. Baker Elementary School

 

With pride and appreciation, I welcome you to the E.M. Baker School community. It is a true honor to serve as your principal and to be part of a school where children are at the heart of every decision we make. Baker is a place where belonging, significance, and joyful learning come together each day.

While academic rigor is essential to our mission, we know that students thrive when their social and emotional well-being is nurtured. Our dedicated teachers and support staff work collaboratively to create an environment that challenges students to think critically, communicate effectively, and work creatively and collaboratively. These skills, along with our shared commitment to fostering curiosity, character, and resilience, help our students grow into thoughtful global citizens.

The partnership between home and school is central to our success. I value the trust you place in us and believe deeply in open, ongoing communication. Together, we can ensure that every child at Baker feels seen, supported, and inspired to do their best.

I am grateful for the opportunity to lead this exceptional community and look forward to all we will accomplish together.

In collaboration,

Heather Sweet-Lazos, Ed.D.
Interim Principal
