Meet Our Principal

Hello, my name is Pamela Vigil and I am the principal at Park Meadows Elementary School.
I have been in education since 2002 and have taught many different grade levels. I have also served as an instructional coach, as an assistant principal, and a principal since 2019. I earned my bachelor’s degree from New Mexico State University in Elementary Education. I went on to earn a master’s degree from ASU in Curriculum and Instruction and another master’s degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Phoenix. I also hold endorsements in Early Childhood, Math, Science, English Language Arts, Social Studies, and in English as a Second Language.
It is my belief that teaching children is a privilege. A teacher should only take on a teaching role if he or she has a passion to make a difference, believe in the power of education, and commitment to continue his or her own education. All children can and will learn in a safe, loving, and caring environment where he or she feels valued and his or her talents and abilities are embraced. I also believe that schools are the heart of every community and should be a place for communication, support, and safety. Every member on a school campus is responsible for the growth, development, and safety of our students. Additionally, high expectations, student achievement, and accountability should be a priority of every school community and be a combined effort of all stakeholders.
When I am not working, I am spending time with family (my lovely two daughters) and friends. I also love spending time with my Goldendoodle, Henry. I enjoy working on puzzles, trying new food, and movies. One day, when I retire, I will spend my time between the beach and the mountains. Until then, I’m honored to be the principal at Park Meadows and serve the Deer Valley Unified School District community.
