Houghton Elementary Receives National Recognition

Houghton Elementary School has received national recognition from the United States Department of Education for student success in the classroom.

Houghton Elementary School is a place that emphasizes strong academic goals and beliefs. Our teachers, administrators, and staff are committed to fully supporting our students academically and socially to make sure that they are given every opportunity to succeed. We place a top priority on the wellness of our students as individuals. We know that students do their best when they have a meaningful personal connection to both adults and peers. Houghton Elementary prioritizes those connections through the Capturing Kids Hearts initiative, utilizing the Multi-Tiered System of Supports, along with providing many other professional development opportunities for our staff. We have worked hard to put procedures in place to help all students in our building. It is important for us to make sure no student feels alone or under served.

Collaboration has been a staple of our overall success. We use leadership teams that help to provide direction and stability when making large-scale decisions. These important commitments can determine success, which makes it extremely important to have staff input as a driving force to keep us on the cutting edge of education. Our community also plays a significant role in the achievements of Houghton Elementary School and our district overall. We listen to community needs, and these play a role in our decision-making process. Every practice and procedure is geared toward a single mission at Houghton Elementary School, to support each and every student, every day.
