Center Elementary School
Welcome to the Center School. As a community we are very proud of our school. So many people are responsible for making it the warm and nurturing learning environment that it is. We have a talented, caring and dedicated teaching staff that is always working in the best interest of the students. Great support staff of instructional assistants, playground and lunch supervisors, cafeteria personnel, secretary, office clerks, nurse and custodians who give teachers and students support, while contributing to the smooth operation and cleanliness of our building.
A fantastic parent support group in the Center School PTO, of caring parents who are willing to work hard to provide the many extras we offer our children. Supportive parents who are deeply committed to their children’s education at the school.
And lastly, the children who work so hard, are polite and courteous in the Center School tradition.
