We moved here last August and I was so impressed with how helpful the school secretary was in helping me enroll my three children. She was kind enough to take us on a tour of the school so that they knew were they would be going and not feel lost. Throughout the school year I got to know just how caring an willing the teachers are to make sure your child is getting the most out of his/her school year. And the principal.. well what can I say? He is funny and caring but firm and makes sure that the children are learning to take accountability for their own actions good or bad. I am looking forward to another GREAT year :)

The teacher's are outstanding, the families are wonderful and the experience is exceptional. My child just completed his first year here after relocating from the south. I was worried how he would adjust to a new school and new children. It has been the best possible transition I could have hoped for.

Kirby's Mill is not just an elementry school but it a home, a place where everyone cares about each other just like a real family. I love the people I work with and it is a wonderful place to go each and everyday. We as a family help to make the chidren feel at home and teach them with love and lots of support. Ask anyone who ever worked at Kirby's Mill it is truly the best place to be!!
