S. Christa McAuliffe Elementary School

My son has been attending since he was in Kindergarten. He is now in first grade. And I have another child that will be starting Kindergarten this fall. We love the teachers and staff at McAuliffe Elementary School and the principal Denise Edwards is wonderful. We have had no bad experiences this far and I doubt we will in the future.
