About Us

Hello and welcome to Cummings Valley Elementary School—home of the Cougars!

I’m proud to be entering my fifth year serving Cummings Valley, and it continues to be an honor to lead such a dedicated and caring school community. Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside an incredible team of educators, staff, families, and students, all committed to academic growth, student success, and building a strong sense of school community.

I truly love living and working in Tehachapi, and I’m proud to be part of this exceptional district and school. At Cummings Valley, we strive to create a supportive and engaging environment where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally.

This year, we’re excited to embrace our school-wide theme: "Best in the West." This theme celebrates our collective commitment to excellence, positivity, and school spirit, and we look forward to weaving it into everything we do—from classroom learning to school events and community connections.

Thank you for visiting our website. I look forward to another great year together at Cummings Valley!

Sincerely,

Taylor Marquesen

Cummings Valley Elementary School Principal
