Schools are the center of community life. When a school thrives, the community thrives.

  • It's greater at Slater! We are T.H. Slater Elementary School, a Purpose Built School and home of the mighty Tigers.

    We proudly serve more than 600 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade.

    We are a community who is focused on creating a safe and nurturing environment for our students. With a caring culture of trust and collaboration, we aspire to be a high-performing school where students love to learn, educators inspire, families engage, and the community trusts us.

    Student excellence is our goal. We foster the spirit of achievement and perseverance every day. Our students develop self-awareness, self-management, communicate effectively, show empathy, and use critical thinking skills in order to participate positively in the global community.

    We strive everyday to fulfill our core values:

    • Building Bridges: We believe that schools are integrally connected to a larger community, and we build bridges to parents, students, and stakeholders.
    • Belief With Commitment: We believe that every student can succeed at the highest level and that all things are possible with commitment.
    • Execution With Excellence and Integrity: We believe that success requires getting things done, and we value doing things with excellence.

    By combining the best of traditional public schools with the best of charter schools, Slater Elementary offers a proven program designed to put all students on a trajectory for success through college and in their careers.
