Dear Rosedale Community,
I am humbled, honored, and absolutely thrilled to step into the role of Interim Principal at Rosedale next school year!
In 2005, I took my first full time position in AISD as a teaching assistant for a student at Rosedale. In a way, returning back to campus to serve as an assistant principal last year has felt like coming full circle, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to arrive back “home.”
In between my times at Rosedale, I have held many different roles in AISD: Life Skills teacher, Life Skills specialist and instructional coordinator in the Special Education Department, and 5 years as an assistant principal - including 4 years at Murchison Middle School. Each of these roles has reinforced my belief in the transformative power of an individualized, child-centered education and that the only limits of a child’s potential are the ones put on them by others.
Now being back on the Rosedale campus, it is clear that wonderful, exciting, impactful things are happening every day at Rosedale. I am committed to continuing the great work occurring on campus and continuing to take steps forward to support our mission of providing a positive environment that prepares students to live, work, and enjoy life in their community.
As excited as I was to be coming back to Rosedale this past school year, my time rejoining the community has exceeded all expectations. As Interim Principal, I am beyond proud to be able to work alongside the most dedicated staff, the most amazing students, and the most supportive families in Austin. I know that together we can continue building a school that provides care, compassion, and opportunity for every student who enters our doors.
Thank you for welcoming me into this role with such warmth and trust. I look forward to a fantastic year and to seeing all that we can achieve together.
With gratitude and Rosedale pride,
Dominic Infante
Interim Principal
