Mary G. Porter Traditional School
Mary G. Porter Traditional School is a school for kids in first through eighth grade. It has been open for eleven years and has been a School of Excellence for nine years. Our school was made to focus more upon academics rather than athletics and sports. Everyone that attends this school attends by choice instead of it attending because of geographic assignment.
Why Is It Called A Traditional School
Unlike other schools Mary G. Porter Traditional School combines elementary school and middle school into one building. Mary G. Porter is a public school but not everyone can get in. To get into Porter you must go through a couple of steps before actually attending. For example you must do a questionnare, an essay, etc. All students start school at 8:40 and end school at 3:30. Compared to other school Porter is small but feels very homey.
Bully Free School!
Mary G. Porter takes pride in saying that we are in fact a bully free school. We treat everyone with respect and love each other as if we were all part of one big family.
Diversity
Mary G. Porter is a very diverse school with students and teachers all from different backgrounds. This brings all of us even closer.
Uniforms
Mary G. Porter is a uniform school which makes it easier to get ready in the morning for everyone. If students do good they can get a denim pass for the coming Friday!
