Since opening in the fall of 2006, Helen B. Stafford Elementary continues with the values of its namesake - Helen B. Stafford.
We are committed to equal access, to high-quality work, to generosity of spirit and to civility.

Stafford is already a unique school site. We have created a goal to provide arts-infused instruction in many content areas. The
result of these goals is evident around the school. Fused-glass projects adorn the entry windows and library. These were
created in conjunction with the Community in Schools program and the Pierce County Arts Commission artist in residence.
Student work is celebrated in the halls and classrooms. The art room and computer lab are both used fully to support student
learning.

Families tell us they feel welcome and a part of our learning community. We think Helen B. Stafford would be proud.
