The Principal's Corner
Dear Katie Harper-Wright Elementary School Community,
I am thrilled to share some highlights of Dr. Katie Harper-Wright's curriculum, which aligns seamlessly with state standards across all subject areas. Our commitment to high standards and expectations for every student is at the forefront of our educational philosophy.
Dr. Harper-Wright fosters a classroom environment where children not only meet academic standards but also feel at ease exploring and taking risks in their learning journey. This approach creates a comfortable space where students can flourish academically and personally.
In addition to our dedicated teaching staff, we are fortunate to have an active Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) that plays a vital role in fostering collaboration among parents, staff, and community members. The PTO's engagement enhances the overall school experience and strengthens the sense of community at Katie Wright Elementary.
Together, we are building a learning environment that not only meets but exceeds expectations. Thank you for your ongoing support in creating a place where every student can thrive.
Yours in Education,
Tryphena Cason, Principal
