Welcome to Central Elementary School
Central Elementary serves students in kindergarten through second grade and provides a strong academic and social foundation for our youngest Cubs. As part of the Orange Public School District, our school is committed to creating a nurturing and inclusive learning environment where every child is encouraged to grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally.
Our experienced and caring staff work closely with families and the community to support each child’s unique learning journey. Through engaging instruction, early exposure to STEM and literacy, and a strong focus on character development, we help students build the skills and confidence they need for future success. At Central, we celebrate diversity, foster curiosity, and empower our Cubs to become respectful, responsible, and resilient learners.
We invite you to explore our school community, where learning starts with heart and every child matters.
