Welcome

Welcome to Engelhard Elementary School! Within our beautiful facility, families, students, and teachers work together to create a warm and caring environment that allows every student an opportunity to develop to his or her full potential.

Engelhard provides a comprehensive curriculum. Our facility supports three fully equipped labs (practical living, arts and humanities, and technology) staffed by professionals offering classes for students in the Primary through fifth grades.

Engelhard welcomes the support, interest, and participation of families in all aspects of the program. Our Family Resource Center (FRC), along with our Parent Teacher Association (PTA), provides numerous services, workshops, and activities for all members of the family to participate in positive lifelong learning experiences.

Engelhard continues to be a labor of love, combining home, school, and community to provide the best possible learning experience for our young people. Through this cooperative venture, our students will learn to make wise decisions regarding their future; acquire the confidence, courage, and tenacity necessary to find solutions to difficult problems; and remain acutely aware of the rights and needs of their community.

We welcome you. Join with us in building on the past and investing in the future at Engelhard Elementary!
