    Welcome

    • Welcome to Denton Creek Elementary, home of the Trailblazers!

      It is going to be another exciting year at DCE! Our theme this year is “eXcellence marks the spot at DCE!” You will notice as you walk the campus eXceptional educators and staff with an unwavering commitment to eXcellence for all learners and strong partnerships with our DCE Families.

      Denton Creek values and respects differences as learners take risks, think critically, explore strengths and passions while preparing for a diverse and challenging world. To ensure the academic, social, and emotional growth and success for all learners, educators and staff work in Professional Learning Communities with a shared mission and vision focused on high levels of learning for all. At DCE, we believe all means all!

      DCE truly believes “it takes a village” and our outstanding families, PTO, and business partners work tirelessly alongside educators and staff to meaningfully contribute to the collective mission of eXcellence for all learners! There are many opportunities to partner! Please let me know if you are interested and I will connect you with the perfect fit for your time and talents!

      We are eXcited to have our new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) Lab learning space ready for learners as they return to school! Watch our campus website for a new link coming soon with inside views of what’s happening in the STEAM Lab!

      Stay up to date with campus news in many ways!
