This is a community-focused elementary school with a history of high achievement while remaining family friendly. Parents have logged thousands of hours volunteering for the school. The entire building was recently remodeled and everything but the brick and mortar was renewed. The school received a new media center, office, windows, lockers and much more. Security and the fire alarm system were also beefed up, making it a very safe place for children to attend.
