Andrea Flores began her journey in education 15 years ago in the Lodi Unified School District, where she taught every elementary grade and served as a reading intervention specialist and adjunct instructor for future teachers. She joined Delta Elementary Charter School in 2015 as a teacher and instructional coach, and became principal in 2023.

Mrs. Flores first became part of the DECS community as a parent—her oldest child attended from kindergarten through sixth grade, and her youngest is currently enrolled. This personal connection fuels her deep belief in DECS’s mission and the power of a strong school community.

She holds a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from Sacramento State, a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Grand Canyon University, and an Administrative Services Credential. Mrs. Flores is a passionate advocate for the whole child approach to learning, project-based learning (PBL), and the essential role of art and music in education. She is proud to work alongside the dedicated DECS team and finds daily joy in supporting students as they grow both in and out of the classroom.
