Challenge, Educate, Succeed.

The vision of Cottrell Elementary School is to develop responsible, lifelong learners by providing an educational environment that challenges all students to reach their full potential.

• Every child should have an emotionally and physically secure learning environment where each individual is respected through honesty, sincerity, and fairness.

• Student learning, achievement, and student safety are the basis of all educational decisions by faculty, students, parents, and community members.

• Individual learning styles should be addressed for students to reach their full potential.

• Faculty should be supported by continuous learning opportunities to develop best practices for reaching each individual student.

• Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
