Welcome

Welcome to the Alhambra Primary school website. Alhambra Primary educates student from Early Childhood/PreK through second grade in the Highland School District. Alhambra Primary serves the communities of Alhambra, Grantfork and New Douglas. We have many features at our school that makes it a great place to learn about academics, our environment and each other. Our school has a half-day Early Childhood Program, full-day Pre-K Program and two sections of Kindergarten, First Grade and Second Grade. We are currently at 138 students EC/PreK through 2nd grade. Additional features that we have in our building include a media center, computer lab, Guided Reading Room, Cafe'/Multipurpose Room, and an outdoor Children's Garden. We also have a latchkey or T.A.K Program before and after school for students in the three surrounding communities.

Another way we have found to enrich students' experiences at Alhambra Primary has been through after school camps and Spanish Enrichment programs that are held after school throughout the school year. The camps range from academics to athletics and the arts.

Students benefit greatly from the experienced, knowledgeable, and caring staff who work cooperatively to create an atmosphere and climate that is welcoming, safe and conducive to learning. In addition to the rich academic program offered by the regular classroom teachers, students benefit from the offerings of the professional support staff that provide instruction in music, art, and physical education. Other staff includes a speech therapist, nurse, instructional assistants, media center specialist as well as a resource teacher. The majority of staff members hold a masters degree in Education and two teachers have earned their National Board Certification.

The education of each child is enhanced through the major contributions offered by the active Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). Volunteers or P.I.L.L.A.R.S. that work in our building on a regular basis offer additional assistance and guidance to our students so they may achieve higher success and have a well-rounded educational program.

At Alhambra Primary School, the V.I.P. Principals and 1-2-3 Magic are stressed throughout the school year as part of our character education program and school wide behavior program.

We invite the entire school community to be a part of the educational process for each and every child attending Alhambra Primary so we may all grow together.
