Welcome to Fillmore Elementary—a great place to grow!

At Fillmore, we are proud to provide a welcoming environment where every student and family feels valued and connected. We are honored to have been awarded a Community School Grant, which allows us to further strengthen partnerships, resources, and opportunities for our students and families. Being a community school means we are deeply committed to working together with families, staff, and community partners to ensure every child has what they need to thrive.

Our students thrive through a balance of high expectations for academics and behavior, paired with the support of strong connections, social-emotional learning, and character development. We encourage our students to do the right thing not because it is easy, but because it is the right thing to do.

In addition to a strong academic foundation, Fillmore offers robust enrichment programs including art, music, drama, physical education, tutoring, and a wide variety of after-school clubs. These opportunities help nurture creativity, curiosity, and a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom.

Together, as staff, families, and community partners, we are committed to supporting the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—so that every student has the opportunity to grow, flourish, and reach their full potential.

We invite you to join us in making Fillmore Elementary truly a great place to grow.

Warmly,

Channon Mitchell
Principal
