Principal Welcome!

Principal Welcome

Welcome to Lucas Valley Elementary!

Hello LVE Families,

My name is Erin Baker, and I’m honored to serve as the new principal of Lucas Valley Elementary School. It’s with deep gratitude and excitement that I join this exceptional community of educators, students, and families. Many of the LVE staff are people I’ve long admired and had the privilege to collaborate with during my years in the Miller Creek School District—and I’m thrilled to now call myself part of this team.

As an educator for the past 22 years I have had the pleasure of teaching multiple grades across two district, serving for the past 14 years at Vallecito Elementary School. Most recently, I led our intervention program, working closely with teachers and families to ensure every student was both supported and challenged. Through these experiences, I’ve learned just how powerful strong partnerships and shared commitment can be in helping children grow and thrive. I bring that same dedication to Lucas Valley.

This new role feels especially meaningful because Lucas Valley is part of the community I call home. My husband and I live in Marinwood, and our two sons, now 13 and 16, both attended Miller Creek schools. I’ve been on the sidelines of local soccer games, in the audience at school concerts, and cheering at Little League fields—experiencing firsthand the heart of this community.

As we begin this year together, I’m excited to listen, learn, and lead alongside you. My vision is to continue building a school culture grounded in trust, inclusion, and high expectations for all. I look forward to connecting—whether in classrooms, around campus, or at school events—and to supporting every student’s journey.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together!

Warmly,
Erin Baker
