Principal's Message

I am so proud of our students, staff, and community for their commitment to see our school succeed. Austin Tracy's strength is that we are able to provide a small-school, family-like atmosphere. This allows us to tailor our experience to the academic, and social, needs of each individual student. We strive each day to live up to our SOAR Expectations:

  • Show Respect

  • Only Positive Attitudes

  • Act Responsibly

  • Reach for Success

The result is a school that emboldens our students to be resilient, driven individuals. When students leave us as 6th graders, they are prepared for future academic success, and have the tools necessary to be ready to tackle the challenges of an ever-changing world.
