    School Mission/Vision

    E. Hale Curran Elementary is a community of learners in which the needs of children come first. We believe that all members of the school community play an integral role in the education and well-being of each student. We strive to provide an environment that embraces the diversity of our school population, and respects all of its members. We are committed to helping all children develop self-confidence, compassion, and a desire to work as a team; providing a challenging, standards-based curriculum, which also accepts individuals’ creativity; and teaches children to solve problems, think critically, and maintain a lifelong love of learning.

    Striving towards excellence is an on-going process at E. Hale Curran Elementary School. To this end, we will continue to use District curriculum and tests to provide a strong base for our instructional program. Our hope is that every child who leaves Curran will take with them a strong foundation in academics, a positive self-image, respect for others, a love of country, and a life-long love of learning.
