Cottonwood Elementary School
Gabe Cotter: The school has a very inviting feel especially for the young children, with story book characters lining the walls to trees and other fun things that bring smiles to the young and old. My son is in Kindergarten and Mrs. Herron does a wonderful job. I have heard from other parents they love the school as well as the staff. My son loves school and his class.
