A Message From the Principal

As we begin the 2000-2001 school year, the faculty and staff of Twin City Elementary are excited because our new facility is complete and we can begin a new journey of providing a "BETTER THAN NECESSARY" educational program for all our students. Over the past years our students have performed well, our teachers have provided quality instruction, and our parents and community have been supportive of our efforts. For this, I am mowt grateful; but if we are to prepare our children for the challenges of the ever-changing world of the 21st century, we must be better.

The Faculty and Staff of TCE are committed to this goal and we pledge to you that all our energies and efforts will be devoted to increasing student achievement. It is our strong belief that all our students can do better.

Sincerely,
Von Johnson, Principal
