Gayle Mar-Chun, Principal
Welcome to Madison Elementary School. As principal, I am committed to honor the traditions of Madison’s rich past and envision new dreams for Madison’s future. Our school prides itself on its sense of “family” where every child feels connected. Students, staff, and parents are part of a small neighborhood school that values the concept of learning communities. Classrooms are filled with students, teachers, parents, and volunteers learning together.
Paint a picture of Madison and you’d see:
