A Message from the Principal

Scott Joplin Elementary School is a place where excellence, growth, and collaboration thrive. At Joplin, we are committed to providing a nurturing and inclusive environment that empowers every student to achieve their fullest potential. Our school is deeply rooted in a tradition of academic achievement, creativity, and innovation, inspired by the legacy of our namesake, Scott Joplin, a pioneer of artistic excellence. We embrace this legacy by fostering a love for learning, critical thinking, and self-expression among our students. Joplin places an emphasis on writing across content areas, vocabulary development and integration of technology in instructional practices. Joplin strives to create opportunities for educational empowerment while preparing students for college and career readiness. The success of our school is a true testament to the strength of our community. Together, our dedicated educators, engaged parents, and supportive partners work as a team to ensure that our students receive the best possible education and opportunities to thrive. Scott Joplin is a GREAT place to learn, work, and grow.
