Principal's Welcome Message

Welcome to another exciting school year at Heights-Murray Elementary! It's truly a pleasure to have you all as part of our school family.
Our 2025-26 parent packet is available on the website. It contains crucial information regarding our daily procedures.  We encourage you to review it thoroughly. It's designed to help ensure a smooth and successful experience for every student.

At Heights-Murray, we believe that education is a partnership. Together, we can to teach our students not only to be good students, but also to be good members of their community. We encourage everyone to model appropriate interactions, with Safety, Responsibility, and Respectfulness in all aspects of school life.

Our core vision at Heights-Murray Elementary remains steadfast: to improve student instruction and student achievement.
We call that Reaching New Heights. 
To help us reach new Heights, we have a few key mottos that guide our daily actions:
  • Attendance: "Attend to Achieve"
  • Discipline: "we don't fight unless it's for our future" -we use our energy to work hard, learn, and be kind. We teach students to show they're "fighting for their future" by treating themselves and others with respect.
  • Achievement: "Reaching new Heights"
  • Community Involvement: "Heights is where our heart is"
Together we can create a nurturing and challenging environment where every child can thrive. We look forward to a fantastic year of collaboration and success.
