Prospect Elementary

Demographic Information:
Year started LiM: 2018
School Enrollment: 357

Currently we have 318 students coming to school for face-to-face instruction and 39 students participating in a Virtual Academy class in our school’s cluster. Our mission is to continue to grow leaders. When we first began this leadership journey, we started with a small group of staff members who discussed our school’s identity, our place in the community, and how we could effectively serve our population while honoring traditions. Once we started our research, we were drawn to Leader in Me; teams of teachers visited other LIM schools and learned more about how we could grow our students and ourselves personally and professionally. Prospect’s strength has always been the ability to synergize and create a positive culture within the school and community.
