Eric Ramirez

Morton Freshman Center Principal

I am a proud Morton East Graduate and super excited to be part of the Morton Family. I’ve worked at Morton as a teacher for five years and as Dean/Lead Dean for eight years before becoming an Assistant Principal at the Freshman Center.  As Principal, I strive to continue to set high expectations for our student body. I am excited to continue to enhance our supports and systems for our students to become productive members of society.  I enjoy working with students and parents to obtain a common goal of our students succeeding. I am a firm believer that when schools and communities work together it sends the message that failure is not option.
