Welcome to another exciting school year at Orange Center Elementary – Home of the Tigers! It is my absolute joy and honor to welcome both returning families and those joining us for the first time to the 2025–2026 school year.

At Orange Center, we are proud to be a STEM Magnet School, where hands-on learning, critical thinking, and innovation are at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to cultivate curiosity, confidence, and creativity in every child, preparing them for a bright and limitless future.

This year, our Vision for Greatness remains focused and strong:

  • Every student challenged.
  • Every voice heard.
  • Every dream nurtured.
  • Every goal supported.

As we continue to grow, I want to personally invite families to be active partners in our school community. Our success is rooted in the relationships we build—with students, staff, parents, and our extended community. Whether through classroom support, school events, or family engagement nights, your presence matters.

We’re also excited to continue offering a range of enrichment opportunities, including before and aftercare provided by Dramatic Education and the Boys and Girls Club, as well as clubs like chess, chorus, tennis, running club, and more.

Let’s make 2025–2026 a year of excellence, growth, and unity. If you ever have questions or would like to visit our campus, I encourage you to reach out. My door is always open, and I look forward to working alongside you this year.
