Castle Hills Elementary opened its doors in 2002. It is the home of the happy Dragons! Principal Venita Blake says: "We are proud of our academic accomplishments and I am excited about the 2009-2010 school year. Our motto is, "Believe, Achieve, and Succeed." Our theme for the year is, "Lasso your Dreams." We have high expectations for all students and will provide them with the tools to achieve those expectations. The staff, students, parents and community are working together to educate our children. We are excited about our Spanish classes for students and the continuation of our publishing company, "Kingdom Tales." The students of Castle Hills Elementary will attend Killian Middle School and, later, Hebron High School." Castle Hills Elementary received Gold Performance Acknowledgments for: Attendance (2008-09) and Commended on Reading/ELA, Writing, Mathematics and Science.
