Welcome to Chester W. Taylor Elementary! I’m so proud to lead a school where relationships come first and every child is seen, heard, and valued. Our staff is passionate about creating a joyful, inclusive space where students are excited to learn and grow. We believe in each child’s potential and work together to help them discover their strengths, celebrate their progress, and build the confidence they need to succeed in school and in life.

As a Title I school, we know that strong family partnerships are key to student success. We are truly a community—where parents, teachers, and staff walk alongside one another to support every learner. Whether you’re joining us for a school event, reading the Galactic Gazette, or simply chatting with a teacher at pickup, your presence makes a difference. I’m grateful to be on this journey with you, and I look forward to all the memories and milestones we’ll share this year.
