I love this school because of the community behind it. Even though we were hit with mine subsidence and a tornado in the same year, we have worked hard to come together to make things right for our kids.

A great school district within a caring community of several towns that pull together when faced with a tragedy. This community, this school district will re-build a wonderful elementary school once again that we can all be proud of.
