Principal's Corner

Welcome!

Since breaking ground in 2003, Salt Creek has been dedicated to developing confident, college and career ready learners who are respectful, responsible, and safe in our school community.  This year, we are elated to celebrate 20 years of providing a rigorous educational experience to ALL our students.  The Mountain Lion way is one that values high standards by providing rich learning experiences for all students.  We believe in educating the whole child and in creating critical thinkers who are leaders in our community.  At Salt Creek Elementary we provide equitable access to rigorous instruction in an inclusive environment that emphasizes the social-emotional well-being of our students.

Vision and Values

Our mission at Salt Creek is to create confident, college and career ready leaders who apply learned skills to real-life situations.  They are innovative and critical thinkers, effective communicators, and collaborative learners. Students are self-evaluators who have the skills to adapt to the diverse world around them.  They are respectful, responsible, and safe citizens in the community.  Salt Creek Elementary School- Home of the Mountain Lions- is dedicated to educating the whole child.
