Memminger Elementary School

Ths used to be a great school with a wonderful sense of community and pride. Under Principal Dixon's leadership the school was a wonderful place to work. It is beyond sad that over the past 2 years, it has been run into the ground through poor leadership, a culture of gossip and cruelty, and an overall lack of positive moral which begins at the top down. Beyond sad to see how much an ineffective leader can hurt a school.

Dedicated teachers and support staff. Hands on principal who really cares about the students. Students are creative, open to new ideas, eager to learn and very proud of their school.

I retired this year and started tutoring a 6th grader from Memminger Elementary school. It has been a wonderful experience for me, working with his teacher, mother and fellow volunteer who asked me to help. The teachers have high expectations for the children and the children are so polite and full of energy. It is both a challenge and a delight to spend time with them.

Have been volunteering @ Memminger for over 5 yrs. Enjoy the spirit of the kids, the dedication of the teachers/administration. Have seen progress being made and the positive re-enforcement in the kids as they make that progress.
