A Message From The Principal
Welcome to Mary Castle Elementary School! We are excited about the many opportunities that lie ahead for our students, faculty and staff, parents, and community for the upcoming school year and beyond.
Mary Castle Elementary is home to approximately 800 students who are growing into globally minded learners. As a School of International Studies, we foster curiosity, cultural understanding, and collaboration—empowering students to thrive in a diverse and connected world.
Our vibrant school community comes alive the moment you enter—through cultural artifacts like our Terracotta Warrior statue, student-created artwork, and the joyful sound of students learning together.
We are proud to be a STEM-Certified School, offering rich, integrated instruction in STEM and Humanities. Through hands-on, real-world learning, our students build essential skills like communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation—preparing them for success now and in the future.
At Mary Castle, we also believe that strong schools are built on strong partnerships. We deeply value parent involvement and encourage all families to get active with our Parent Faculty Organization (PFO) to stay connected and make a difference in our school community.
We’d love to show you more—schedule a tour today and follow us on Facebook and Twitter @MaryCastleElem to see what makes our school truly special!
Yours in education,
Mr. Carl Blythe, Principal
