Phil Campbell Elemantary School has an excelllent principle. She cares about every child no matter who they are and she's commmited to the education of every child. You could not ask for a more dedicated person. In response to the lady who said the principle was never there her mother was very sick last year and she had to be there for her. Most any of us would have done the same thing. There was another person in charge durning her absence. This is why principle's and teacher's have sick and pearsonal days they can take in these situations. The elementary teachers and aides are wonderful they are also dedicated to the education of each child.

The elementary school has some really great teachers who are interested in making sure the kids learn, the only down fall of the elementary that I can see is the principal. There are alot of times that she is not at the school. I am sure she has a real good reason but I think if you are a principal of a school you should be there more often. And as for the high school I have not dealt much with it, my child will just be starting in the high school this year. As for the music program right now we have one of the best band directors that I have seen in years.

Elementary school has excellent teachers. The teachers really seem to care about the children and have a sincere desire to see them learn.
