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!

To challenge and engage each learner to grow through effective teaching and meaningful experiences within caring, supportive environments

Core Values

These values guide our work:

• Caring—All JCPS children are nurtured as if they are our own.

• Equity—All students receive an education that gives them what they need to thrive through differentiated supports focused on removing social factors as a predictor of success.

• Excellence—Empowering people to lead, create, and innovate is essential to creating a culture of excellence.

• Respect—All students, staff, and families are treated with dignity and respect as members of a safe and welcoming learning community.

• Individuality—Children learn differently and require personalized approaches to learning.

• Diversity—Our diversity is a strength—differences of each are assets of the whole.

• Opportunity—Effective teaching is the most powerful tool for engaging and motivating students to reach their full potential.

• Creativity—The abilities to create, innovate, and solve challenging problems are critical skills for educators and children to develop and employ in teaching and learning.

• Collaboration—Relationships, cooperation, and partnerships among students, staff, families, and community are fundamental to the success of our students.

• Stewardship—Adults model integrity, respect, and responsibility through mindful stewardship of talents, resources, and time.
