A Message from Our Principal

Dear Memorial Community,

I am truly honored to be named the new principal of Memorial Elementary School. As we embark on this journey together, I look forward to working with all of you to build upon the traditions and excellence that make Memorial a special place to learn and grow.

At Memorial School, our dedicated team is committed to meeting each student where they are, providing the support and resources they need to succeed academically, and fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported. Our goal is to equip our students with the tools and strategies to ensure they are lifelong learners and critical thinkers who add value to our world.

Education is a truly collaborative effort. I believe it is essential to have a strong home-school connection. When we work together, our students will reach their full potential.

I am looking forward to a terrific school year!

Sincerely,

Michele Higgins
