Welcome to Ferdinand Herff Elementary School

2012-2013

Dear Herff families and visitors,

I  am honored to welcome you to Herff Elementary, a dual language campus where

we believe every child will go to college. Our students are taught by highly-qualified

teachers who strive for excellence in every child.  Several grants have enhanced the

resources on our campus with literacy as a main focus.  We offer a variety of

after-school clubs in order to reach and teach the whole child while developing

and enhancing non-academic skills.  We welcome your visit to our campus

where our secretaries will greet you with a smile.

Dr. Traci Smith
