Northside Elementary School
Growing Greatness, One Bear at a Time
When you step onto Northside's campus, you immediately feel what makes our school so special—a warm, welcoming community where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to thrive. Guided by our commitment to universal achievement, we provide a rigorous, engaging education while supporting students academically, behaviorally, socially, and emotionally. Our motto, "Educating the Whole Child," reflects our dedication to developing both strong learners and strong character. Through Character Strong, we intentionally teach and reinforce qualities such as kindness, respect, responsibility, gratitude, empathy, perseverance, honesty, cooperation, courage, and creativity, creating a school culture where students feel safe, connected, and inspired to do their best.
As a STEAM-focused school, we weave curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning into everything we do. From exploring in our Makerspace beginning in Transitional Kindergarten to designing solutions for Future City, Science Fair, and engineering challenges, students are encouraged to think critically, collaborate, and solve real-world problems. Our beautiful campus also serves as an outdoor classroom, offering opportunities to learn along local trails, creeks, and ponds through unforgettable outdoor education experiences that foster curiosity, environmental stewardship, and lasting memories.
Serving as Northside's principal is truly an honor. I am grateful to partner with our dedicated staff, supportive families, and community to create a school where every child is known, challenged, and inspired to thrive. Whether you are joining Northside for the first time or have been part of our community for years, welcome! Together, we're Growing Greatness—One Bear at a Time!
Warmly,
Emily Gallo
