Sterling Elementary School embraces its diverse student body and is dedicated to the establishment of educational programs in which each students' individuality and self-worth are respected.  All students are encouraged and supported to reach their academic and potential by promoting intellectual growth, individual initiative, mutual respect and personal responsibility.  Students, parents, community and staff work collaboratively through a cooperative partnership to ensure a child centered environment.  We believe that by focusing on the education of the whole child our students will develop into life-long learners and become productive members of society.
