The principal Mr. Johnson is phenomenal. You would be hard pressed to find another principal that truly knows and cares about his students the way Jim does. This will be our 3rd child going through elementary with Jim as their principal (with 3 more to go). His focus is always on the kids and it shows in how the school is run and the children are educated. Close Quote
