Vision:
100% Student Success

Mission:
The mission of Fuguitt Elementary is to prepare tomorrow's leaders today by engaging and inspiring students for success on a daily basis by connecting learning to real life.

Core Values:
We pride ourselves on developing a culture where students are empowered for success! As each child discovers and develops his/her unique gifts and talents, they are given opportunities to lead. They become active, engaged partners in their own education and their self-confidence, responsibility, and initiative grows. Children quickly understand the benefits of different gifts and talents; they learn to listen to new ideas, work together to achieve results, and motivate one another to be the best.
