As we begin Year Two at Poplar Hill Elementary, we wanted to reintroduce our PHE Principals tour new families so we can continue building on the strong foundation our students, staff, families, and community created together during our inaugural year.
At Poplar Hill, we believe relationships come first. We know that when schools and families work together, students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
One thing we want every family to know is that communication is key to success. We firmly believe that most concerns, questions, and misunderstandings can be solved or resolved by simply reaching out and having a conversation. That is exactly what we are here for.
We are committed to maintaining an open door, being accessible, and partnering with you every step of the way. Whether you have a question, a concern, or simply want to celebrate a success, we encourage you to connect with us.
Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being an essential part of the Poplar Hill family. We are honored to serve this community and look forward to another incredible year together.
Every Student. Every Day. Growing, Achieving, and Thriving.

We are so proud of what we accomplished together and even more excited about what lies ahead in Year Two. The future is bright at Poplar Hill Elementary!
