I am Dr. Melanie Cleveland, the Proud Principal of Bellalago Academy. It is my privilege and pleasure to serve the staff, students, and families of Bellalago.  Bellalago has established itself as a school of excellence in our community.  Excellence is not a result or an accomplishment; it is the never-ending process of striving to do better.    

At Bellalago, excellence is a prevailing attitude.  Whether it’s in the classroom, on the field, or within our community, we are committed to supporting every student in reaching their highest potential. We foster a culture of respect, responsibility, and resilience, while celebrating the unique strengths each individual brings to our school.  Together we will achieve great things!  

In the past three school years, we have improved our school grade and have shown consistent progress toward being an A school!  As we look forward to the 2025-2026 school year, I am excited to continue this journey with each of you as we embark on a year filled with opportunities, growth, and the pursuit of excellence. 

Be respectful, be responsible, be safe, be a Mariner! 

In your service, 

Dr. Melanie Cleveland
