Testimonials
Our family's educational experience at Steele has been positive in so many ways. Amazing teachers, unique curriculum such as the planetarium and garden program, a dedicated staff and principle, an active and effective parent community, and a student body that strives to uphold our school code, are just some of the things that make Steele great. As a parent, the most important thing that I can say about the education at Steele is the dedication of the teaching staff and the individual attention that my children have received. Recognition of and attention to my children's unique educational needs have been addressed by the teachers at Steele. I feel that the staff at Steele always acts as an advocate for my children's educational career, and have based their recommendations on what they believe is best for my individual child. For these reasons, we are so happy to be a part of the Steele community.
Steele Parent, 2nd and 5th Grader
As a parent of a Steele 5th grader and a now 8th grade Steele alumnus, I've noticed that our students love going to school. The core content areas come alive in the hands-on, project based approach of the teachers' instructional design. Students are valued and respected as individuals and as contributors to the learning community. Creativity and collaboration are seamlessly embedded in all subjects and specials. It's part of the school's mission statement. The Steele community is also shaped by the caring, awe-inspiring volunteerism of the parents. We are so grateful to have our students learn and grow in such a nurturing, thoughtful environment.

Background Statement
Steele Elementary has a rich 100+ year history, originally a neoclassical structure designed by architect David Dryden (1861-1915) opened it's doors in the Fall of 1913 with 223 students grades K-8 with six teachers. In the late 1920's Steele's population had doubled and an expansion was in order. Architect Meryll Hoyt (1881-1933) replaced the Roman, Creek and Italian Reniassance Elements with the Art Deco building we have today. When Steele re-opened in September 1929, Steele had 18 classrooms, a library, an auditorium, a gymnasium and a Kindergarten. There were 535 students and 15 teachers.
