Why Roseland Creek?
Roseland Creek Elementary opened its doors in 2011, and we are a beautiful, state-of the art educational facility serving students from transitional kindergarten through sixth grade. While we are proud of our award winning campus design, the real beauty of Roseland Creek is on the inside.
We have the most amazing, hardworking and gifted students, and we recruit and retain only the most talented, caring and dedicated teachers and staff. Every student here knows that knowledge is power, that champions don’t quit, and that taking risks and making mistakes are what make our brains grow. Our positive and nurturing environment is highly valued by all of us, because we know that students can only reach their potential through encouragement, support, hard work, and by celebrating their achievements. Because we maintain a relatively small enrollment, we are able to know every student, and sustain our family feel.
Our district’s high schools boast the highest graduation rates in the county, and are recognized for their high college acceptance rates. The foundation for this success begins at Roseland Creek. We are a college-focused elementary school, and our goal is to prepare our bear cubs for success through the higher education of their choice.
As the principal of Roseland Creek since the day we opened, I can promise you that nothing is more important to me than your child’s education. I’d like to personally invite you to click around our website to see what makes Roseland Creek so exceptional, and to call or email me anytime to schedule a visit or tour.

This means that we are offering our students in every grade, hands-on outdoor education experiences that build upon each other-- bringing the classroom out into nature! Whether it is learning about our local watershed, habitats, or climate change, our students are gaining the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to become the next generation of stewards!

IMPORTANT: Enrollment in Roseland Creek by 3rd grade gives your child propriety status for enrolling in our acclaimed charter secondary programs!
Our charter programs are recognized for their exceptional high school graduation and college acceptance rates. What’s more, Roseland School District offers high school students adult community member mentors to support them all the way through college, and privately fund raises to provide our students with college scholarships. Entry into our charter programs is limited and on a priority basis. Students enrolled in Roseland Creek by no later than 3rd grade will qualify for priority status. Without priority status, most students are not able to participate in our charter programs due to limited space.
