This is the school all teachers dream about when we get out there in the work force. I truly believe this school is great because the faculty are all for one, one for all. Mrs. Venable is also a very intuitive principal and she strives to please without compromising what's best for everyone. A very hard job! Mire parents and the PTC are so amazing too! As long as Mire will have me, I plan to teach here until I retire!

Positive feedback doesnt need to be given for anyone to know how good Mire Elementary is...just ask how many new buildings have to be added to accomodate the growing number of students every year. My children have been going to Mire for almost 12 years....Ms Venable and the staff are great! A great school with a positive environment. If you do not want your child to learn discipline, respect, and responsibilty...Mire Elementary is not the school for your child!

My children have been attending Mire for five years total, what a great school with great discipline! The teachers' are wonderful. They are very strict with the students and they do not put up with any nonsense. The curriculum is at a high standard and the school rates very high. What a blessing to have schools like this one still around.

Mire Elementary is a good school! Principal is great! keep up the good Work Ms Venable! I strongly believe what makes a good school is how much effort the principal puts into the school!
