Administration

With over 15 years of unwavering dedication to Kansas City Public Schools, Ms. Aguirre-Hill has built a legacy of leadership, growth, and transformation. She began her journey in the classroom and steadily expanded her impact through roles as mentor teacher, grade-level chair, literacy coach, IB coordinator, and professional development chair, always with a deep commitment to excellence and equity. Over the past four years, Ms. Aguirre-Hill has proudly served FLA as vice-principal and principal, where her vision and heart have guided the school community through meaningful progress and connection. Her leadership is rooted in a profound investment in the people who make the school thrive, staff, students, families, and the rich culture they cultivate together. Ms. Aguirre-Hill brings wisdom, warmth, and an unshakable belief in the power of language education to change lives.

With over 20 years of service at FLA, Ms. Walton-Nunez brings deep experience and personal investment to the FLA community. Beginning as a kindergarten, second, and fifth grade teacher, and now as vice-principal at the same school where her own children attended, she understands the heart of FLA’s learning environment. A passionate advocate for immersion education, she draws on her studies in Spanish and French to champion the value of multilingualism and the rich cultural, social, and professional connections it fosters. She believes, “When children are immersed in language and culture, they don’t just learn—they open doors to the world.”

This school year will be Ms. Lowe’s 13th year with KCPS. She started as a first-grade teacher, and later served as an elementary ESOL teacher and instructional coach, before becoming a vice-principal two years ago. She attended a bilingual elementary school in DC, where she studied Spanish, and she studied Mandarin in high-school and college. She believes in the importance of a multilingual education, and looks forward to supporting FLA’s mission and vision.
