Hello Cougar Families,

I am proud to serve as the principal of Clarendon Elementary School. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such amazing students, an extremely dedicated staff, and a supportive school community. Our school is most certainly a unique and special place - a true academic community made better by all those who have gone before us. I am humbled to be part of this school, to support our students and families, and continue our legacy of excellence.

Clarendon is a grade 4-6 campus that boasts a remarkable award-winning Dual Language program and provides an excellent education to every student that comes through our doors. In addition, Clarendon has received two A+ School of Excellence designation, a prestigious award aimed to identify, celebrate, and recognize educational excellence in schools throughout Arizona.

On a personal note, I have spent the entirety of my career in the Osborn School District.  Prior to joining the Cougar Family, I taught English Language Arts, worked with our English Learners, served as a Mentor Teacher, worked as the Behavior Intervention Specialist, and most recently worked as the Assistant Principal at Osborn Middle School. I am committed to Osborn, to our community, and to building equitable opportunities for students, parents, and teachers as well. 

I truly believe that education has the power to change lives and that strong relationships cultivate a positive team atmosphere to drive outcomes. Together, we will continue to educate and inspire Clarendon students, providing a meaningful learning environment guided with love and support toward a bright future.

It is important to me that your child has a valuable educational experience at Clarendon.  I believe that communication, positivity, and teamwork form the foundation of a successful school. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Remember: Cougar Pride is nothing to hide!

In Partnership,

Jeff Martin
