Whittier Elementary School

Whittier Elementary School activities focus on rigorous instruction that is inclusive of active learning strategies, differentiated instruction, excellence in technology instruction, hands-on experiences, and authentic assessments. Advancements in STEM have radically changed the way we function. This year, Whittier has double-downed on its Urban Sustainability focus by partnering with Fresh Farm Food Prints, Project Lead The Way, and OutTeach. Whittier was awarded, by the US Dept. of Education, a Green Ribbon School.
