About Us
Gold Rush Elementary is dedicated to developing students who think critically and act responsibly by fostering strong relationships with families, inspiring a love of learning, and honoring individuality and creativity.
We envision a learning environment where students are challenged to think deeply, explore new ideas, and develop the confidence to create, reflect, and think independently within a safe and supportive community.
