Assistant Principal’s Message

Welcome to North Dade Center for Modern Languages (CML)

As the assistant principal of CML, my focus is to support the teachers, staff, students, and parents by creating trusting relationships, and fostering academic success.  

 CML provides students with a world class education and is a nationally recognized school where second language acquisition prepares our students for a multicultural world. CML offers students the opportunity to be immersed in either a French or Spanish Language Program which exposes students to literature, mathematics, social sciences and science in their chosen language. CML has consistently been an “A” school for over 20 years, our students take pride in their education and in all the school offers.  

The CML teachers and staff are committed to academic excellence, and it shows in their dedication to students.  

Our CML parents are truly committed to serving our school and committed to seeing the students excel academically and socially.  

It is my honor to serve the staff and students here at CML!                                                                                                                                                                                             Sincerely,                                                                                   Mrs. Jacqueline Salgan                                                           Assistant Principal                                                                 jsalgan@dadeschools.net
