Toshia Cruz - Harvest Elementary Principal

The 2025–2026 school year is a time for new opportunities, growth, and collaboration. I am thrilled to see our students, staff, and families on campus doing well, staying connected, and embracing the Harvest way.

As a proud product of Kerman Unified, it is truly an honor to serve and work in the community that helped shape me. Harvest Elementary is home to over 600 students, and we take great pride in offering a wide variety of programs that meet the needs of all learners—from students with special needs to those in our gifted and talented programs. In addition, we provide clubs, sports, and extracurricular opportunities that help our students grow both academically and socially.

I strongly believe that parents play a vital role in their child’s education, and I value building meaningful relationships with each student and their family. I make it a priority to be visible, connected, and engaged with our school community. Alongside our dedicated staff, I work to ensure that we provide programs and supports that help every student succeed.

This year, our site initiatives include increasing opportunities for independent reading, strengthening our focus on analyzing student success in mathematics, and fostering an engaged campus where students actively practice their RISE strengths: Respect, Improve, Service, and Excellence.

I am incredibly proud to be the principal of Harvest Elementary and to serve alongside such a committed staff and supportive community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s education—we are here to support you every step of the way.
