John B. Whitsitt Elementary School

Welcome to Whitsitt

Whitsitt is a school that welcomes, teaches and engages students and their individual strengths. We strive to celebrate each students’ talents and build confidence in areas where they need support. As a magnet school we offer unique opportunities. For example, we have a community garden for those who love nature. We have a beautifully equipped music room for those who love to sing and play music. Our engineering lab is a creative space where curiosity leads to discovery. I encourage parents to come see for themselves.

Molly Rucker

Principal

We have high expectations for all of our students and we are proud of the standards of excellence that our faculty, staff and students uphold. With our parents and community partners, we work together to provide a high-quality education for all of our students.

Our open-door policy is one of the things parents love most about our school, because it lets them know we're on the same team with the same goal: their child's academic success. The open-door policy applies to prospective families, as well. Please come for a visit and see why Whitsitt Elementary is the right choice for your child.
