Welcome to Garfield Elementary School and thank you for visiting our website.

Garfield has a vision where all people can be active learners, who are responsible, respectful, and safe.

I am so proud to be the principal of Garfield Elementary. Twenty-seven years ago, I began my teaching career at Garfield as a Kindergarten teacher and during that 10-year span, I was fortunate enough to teach in fourth and fifth grades as well. It is my sincere hope that you will experience and contribute to the sense of family that already exists at Garfield. This spirit emanates from the community, faculty, staff, parents, and students. In partnership with each other, we can continue the storied history of this wonderful school.

Welcome to Garfield - we are happy you are here.
