From the Principal's Desk
In 1947, Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote, “The function of education…is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.” However, he went on to explain that educating the mind isn’t enough. He added, “Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”
Although his thoughts on education are nearly seventy years old, they still are very much relevant to the mission of College Park Elementary School. Our drive is to ensure our students are enabled to read, write, think, and act appropriately. We desire that all our Tigers leave equipped to be successful and productive members of our community and an integral part of our global society.
I am dedicated to continuing to build the traditions at College Park by providing an outstanding learning environment for our students, treating each student as an individual, and promoting positive relationships throughout the school.
Enjoy your time with the children at home and we look forward to connecting and building more each day!
