Message from the Principal
What an excellent school year we had for 2011-2012. McAuliffe's students, parents, faculty and staff have achieved the highest recognition from the state of Texas of Exemplary status for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years. The mission of McAuliffe's learning community is to provide academic excellence and success for all students. Our dedicated Challenger Community strayed from their commitment to go above and beyond their expectations to meet their goals and accept no limitations.Sandra Pitchford
Principal
In the previous school year, Challengers entered two new quests. McAuliffe Elementary School was selected to implement the PYP International Baccaluareate Program. Students will recognize the commonality of humans, and the shared guardianship of our planet to help create a better and more peaceful world by becoming internationally minded students. Technology surrounds our everyday life. To prepare our students for college and career readiness, we are taking off with McAllen I.S.D.'s TLC3 initiative, through which our students will experience a transformation of the learning environment that will engage them in a more profound and relevant approach towards learning.
Challengers, your mind has enormous potential which seeks knowledge. Never be afraid to look for and explore great opportunities. Always strengthen and expand your knowledge beyond the stars.
