Our A+ teachers
are prepared
to offer every
student a holistic
and personalized learning experience that emphasizes academic
rigor and social emotional development. Whether it is challenging
math programs, engaging language arts studies, or the important
fine arts programs that our community deeply values, we prepare
our students with the necessary skills and tools to succeed in the
classroom and in life.

Our standardized test scores remain as high or higher than ever.
After more than a century of excellence, our students continue to
outperform local and state averages and academic achievement
remains a hallmark of our “A” rated district.
This year we will expand our commitment to Conscious Discipline,
a nationally renowned approach to optimizing brain development
by creating safe and engaging school communities. By strategically
fostering strong connections at every level of our organization, we
are building resilience in our students and staff.

Thanks to the brain research that has been done in the past decade,
we value the importance of social emotional development and our
schools reflect this learning. Whether it’s been weeks or decades
since you’ve been in a classroom, I invite you to contact me at
623-535-6047 to learn about how Litchfield Elementary School Division Commander Rick Harrach of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary
