Welcome to Chester W. Taylor Elementary School—home of scholars who soar!
As Principal, I am honored to lead a school community that is deeply committed to student success, family partnerships, and a culture of excellence. At Chester W. Taylor, we believe that every child has the potential to achieve greatness when surrounded by high expectations, meaningful support, and a learning environment that is both student-driven and student-focused.
We are proud to stand by our pledge:
“At Chester W. Taylor Elementary School, each scholar will experience high-quality instruction that is explicit, systematic, and centered around their needs.”
This promise guides every decision we make and every lesson we teach. It reflects our unwavering dedication to ensuring that all students receive the tools, encouragement, and opportunities they need to thrive.
Our vision is bold and clear: to create a new culture of excellence where students are empowered, families are engaged, and the community is united in support of our scholars. Together, we are building a future where every child can soar to success—academically, socially, and emotionally.
We know that this journey is not one we take alone. It is through strong collaboration with families, community partners, and dedicated staff that we bring our vision to life. Your involvement, encouragement, and belief in our mission make all the difference.
Thank you for being part of the Chester W. Taylor family. Let’s continue to work together to ensure that every scholar shines.
With gratitude and commitment,
Dr. Rick Saylor
Principal, Chester W. Taylor Elementary School
