Mission Statement: Building Lifelong Leaders and Learners
Principal’s Corner:
Welcome to a brand new school year! We are off to a great start! We have had many changes over the summer. We now have a covered walkway on the east side and it is wonderful! Our cafeteria is well on the way to completion. We should be able to move in to the new cafeteria this school year. We will then renovate the old cafeteria to become our library. Finally…a real library!!! We also have record-breaking enrollment at Elsanor this year. For the first time in school history, we have 346 students! Word must be out and people are hearing what a great school we have! We certainly do have the best employees and students in Baldwin County. Thank you for sending such wonderful children to work with each day. We are looking forward to another great year!
