Principal’s Message

Welcome to Junction Elementary!

Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning as a familiar face, we’re so glad you’re a Junction Jaguar.

About Mrs. Mochrie: 

  • I’m a mom to two amazing children, who have grown up and been part of RCSD schools. One is now in HS and the other in college- both aspire to be teachers!
  • I’ve been in education for over 25 years, I’ve taught K, 1, 2 and 4th grade, been an instructional coach at the district office level, and this is my 7th year at Junction as principal.
  • My husband proposed to me at school during a school assembly at the end of my first year of teaching, and we made the local news in Southern California as a “Lesson in Love.”
  • I love art, being creative, and cooking. I really love painting and ceramics! 
  • I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, visiting National Parks and traveling. 

Every day at Junction, we are proud to help students grow their love of learning, confidence, and leadership skills, all while building strong school-family bonds. 

Our students ROAR: they are Responsible, Outstanding Leaders, Always Safe, and Respectful. We’re proud to be a PBIS Platinum School, creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where students thrive.

Thank you for being part of what makes Junction such a special place to learn and grow together.

Go Jaguars!
