Home / Principal’s Message

 

Dear Fountain Hill Families and Community Members,

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to Fountain Hill Elementary School. In this exceptional school community, every student is empowered to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. As principal, I am honored to lead a dedicated team of educators and staff who are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and academically enriching environment.

Fountain Hill Elementary is proud to be both a Leader in Me and a Community School, grounded in the belief that every child has the potential to lead and make meaningful contributions to their community. Our mission—Learn, Lead, Imagine, and Become—guides our work as we prepare students to navigate an ever-evolving global society with confidence, compassion, and resilience.

Our school culture is built upon the core values of safety, communication, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and citizenship. These principles shape our daily practices and support a learning environment where every child is encouraged to grow and succeed. We believe that strong, positive relationships are essential to student success and are committed to fostering meaningful partnerships with our families and community.

As a community school, we offer a wide range of services and opportunities that support the whole child. Our partnerships with local organizations enable us to provide essential resources that meet the diverse needs of our students and families, further strengthening our school as a center of support and connection.

Our passionate and highly qualified staff work diligently to inspire a love of learning while fostering leadership and global awareness in every student. We value and celebrate the unique strengths each child brings to our school, and we take great pride in serving the diverse and vibrant Fountain Hill community.

Fountain Hill Elementary is more than a school—it is a dynamic hub where students, families, educators, and community members come together in a shared commitment to excellence. We invite you to take an active role in our school community and look forward to a successful year filled with growth, discovery, and achievement.

Thank you for your continued support and for entrusting us with your child’s education. Together, we will make this an extraordinary year on The Hill.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Wertman-Stambaugh
