From Our Community

We have 5 children, all of whom are currently enrolled at Poplar Grove School. In the many years we have been a part of this school community, our kids have thrived academically, socially and emotionally. Poplar Grove is a special place where each child is known and every family is included. The learning community is built through true collaboration between administration, teachers and parents. PGS is a unique school and we could not be happier that our children have had a chance to learn and grow in this wonderful place. Kallie Printz, Parent

We are so thankful for the community at Poplar Grove. From the teachers, to the staff, and the parents, we have met great new friends and had a wonderful time getting to know everyone. We are excited to be spending 9 years together with them all! I couldn’t have asked for a better school for my son. Henry Martin, Parent

As a parent of two daughters at PGS, I can truly say this school is more than just a place of learning; it’s a community. PGS offers the perfect balance of support, encouragement, and challenge that helps every child and family thrive. I am so thankful that my daughters get to grow in such an incredible environment!Kate HabeGger, Parent

Throughout my life, I have been to six different schools. Out of all of them, Poplar Grove has been the most welcoming school I’ve ever been to. Both the students in the staff have made a large impact on the person I am today.  Quincy Anderson, Former Student

I attended Poplar Grove from kindergarten through eighth grade, and I’m incredibly grateful for the lifelong relationships I built during my time there. It was there  that I discovered my passion for cross country and basketball, and with the support of my teachers, I was able to grow both personally and academically. Their encouragement played a key role in shaping the person I am today. Sullivan Kelly, Former Student
