What Makes Our School Unique?

    This is a wonderful school because of the parents, students, faculty and staff as well as interested community leaders. We have an active P.T.O. and many volunteers. The faculty and staff truly love children and work hard each and every day to ensure that all of the students succeed. Our students come prepared each day to learn and are proud of their school.
    Visitors are always welcome. If you are new to the community or have an upcoming kindergartner, please come by and you will be given a tour of the building and any questions you may have will be answered.
    Great things happen at Dan Mills. You will see right away that this is the school that you would want your child to attend.
