All About Gentian

"Out of Many - One Family"

Message from our Principal, Mr. Rodney Harrison

Gentian is a truly exemplary school where the parents, staff, and teachers work together as a family.  We strive to produce confident students who will become leaders for the future.  We do our best to be positive role models without yielding to what would be the easiest road, but instead what would be the right road.  We work each day to create a cooperative environment in which the students can learn the academic, physical, and social skills needed to become productive citizens.  We also strive to create an environment conducive to building positive self-esteem, self-discipline, and a sense of pride in each student.  We are very proud of our students and faculty at Gentian and what they are accomplishing through their hard work.

The Gentian Mission

Gentian Elementary School is committed to providing educational experiences that will enable each student to become a lifelong learner, enter the workforce with necessary skills, and achieve academic and personal potential.
