Welcome Southport Dolphins to the 2024-25 School Year!  

Our motto is Dolphins Diving into Learning Excellence!  

Southport Elementary is committed to providing each of our students with a safe and nurturing environment for learning.  The staff at Southport Elementary believes in promoting an excellent education for every child, every day.  Our school theme is "Dolphins Diving into Learning Excellence".  Excellence begins with building relationships with our students and community in order to make school a positive learning experience.  Teacher commitment to a high quality education is evidenced by our school demonstrating continued improvement in state learning goals.

 We believe in safety first and will do everything possible to ensure our students learn in a positive and safe environment.  We believe in communication and encourage you to establish and maintain communication with your student’s teachers, the administrative team or any other person on our staff who can assist you or your student.  While we strive to educate the “whole child”, we believe the ability to read, to comprehend and to be able to communicate is paramount to achieving academic excellence.  Family members and community volunteers can help us by putting reading first in everything you do.  

 At Southport Elementary School we are a family, all working together with the same goals.  Our students are our most important and valuable asset and our future.  We welcome your partnership as we move through the new school year. If you are not sure how you can be involved, just ask us!  We look forward to a great year! We are so glad you're here!

Sincerely,

Peg Bourne, Principal
