Welcome to Whittier Elementary School!

At Whittier, everything we do is driven by a shared purpose. We are proud to embody the mission, vision, and core values of the Clinton Community School District, ensuring our school is a place where every child can thrive.

• Our Mission: To educate all students to their highest level of achievement through an engaging curriculum in a caring community.

• Our Vision: Empowering All: Future Ready.

Our primary purpose is to prepare our students for the exciting next phases of their lives. Because we believe in educating the whole child, our vibrant curriculum spans literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, fine arts, physical education, and social-emotional development.

Driven by Our Values

We bring our district's core values to life in our classrooms every single day:

• All are welcomed, connected, and safe. Our team is a group of highly qualified, nurturing professionals who treat each child with respect and dignity. We operate under a simple truth: each child is our child, and their growth and safety are our absolute priorities.

• Relentless commitment to high expectations. We hold big dreams for our students. Whittier is proud to be recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School, a Model Professional Learning Community School, and a State of Iowa Computer Science School!

• Empowering all learners to engage in a rigorous educational pathway. Because of this standard of excellence, our kids dive into engaging, hands-on activities that challenge them to become deep, independent thinkers who collaborate, problem-solve, create, and celebrate.

Partnering with You

We know that strong relationships with our parents, families, and community members are the absolute backbone of our students' success. We deeply understand and believe in the power of these connections, and we thank you for partnering with us to ensure our students are truly future ready!
