A Message From

Our Principal

At Garner Elementary, we believe that love and compassion must be at the heart of everything we do. When students feel seen, heard, and valued, they thrive and it is our mission to help every child achieve their very best.

Through our work with High Reliability Schools (HRS), we are committed to building responsive systems and procedures grounded in student data, ensuring we meet each learner where they are and guide them forward with purpose. Our team works to create an environment that is safe, supportive, and has high-expectations while also honoring the unique strengths of every child.

Because at Garner, we believe:
Every child. Every day. Deserves the finest, greatest, best.
