Our School - Griffin Elementary

About Griffin Elementary:

Our Mission Statement

We work and grow collaboratively to ensure high levels of success for all while becoming kind, contributing members of our community.

Our Vision Statement

In partnership with our community, our school will be an innovative leader in education

Our History

Griffin Elementary was named in honor of Henry Griffin, a lifelong servant to our community. Our school was originally built in 1967 with two additions since that time.

Our Environment

We are able to provide a rich educational environment with cutting edge technology through a recently passed technology bond.   Thanks to an energy bond we have extensively renovated our building to become energy efficient, replacing an outdated boiler, installing climate control systems, replacing exterior windows and doors, adding sky lights, and other energy improvements. 

Exceeding Standards

Griffin remains committed to the goal of increasing student achievement. Our dedicated, highly qualified staff utilizes meaningful student assessment data to develop strategies that will help all of our learners grow academically.  Year after year our school exceeds state standards. 

PTO

Our first-class PTO provides many experiences that help us add a new dimension to learning.  Students enjoy field trips, and many fun family events for all to enjoy.  Parents are an integral part of our success. We have several volunteers helping in various ways throughout the school year.  Not only do our parents see the value in supporting school but also have taken on the crusade to reach out and help those in our community by running a canned goods drive each month for local food pantries.
