Our Stories

In SD25, our children are part of a community where the principal knows them by name and teachers work closely with families to support student success. By incorporating student interests into the classroom, the school ensures every child is engaged and supported. It is the perfect fit for our family.

We chose public school here in Pocatello because we want our kids to grow up in our community, not just live in it. There’s something special about them learning, playing, and figuring out life alongside the same kids they see at the park, in the neighborhood, and at birthday parties. They get a mix of different personalities, backgrounds, and experiences that we could never create on our own, and that’s part of what helps them grow. Plus, it’s nice knowing we’re all in it together—teachers, families, and kids—doing our best and cheering each other on.

The teacher I will never forget is Ms. Phelps. She helped me through all of 5th grade, the toughest grade for me but she stuck with me through the thick and thin. Ms. Phelps was the best teacher I’ve ever had. I finished the year strong thanks to her encouragement, helpfulness and support. Xavier M.

Mr. Sturgis is the best elementary teacher I have ever had. Mr. Sturgis has done incredible things that have made me respect not just him, but other teachers as well. He has not only made me want to come to school, which is an achievement in itself, but he has also made me want to learn.

Throughout my years of elementary school I struggled with reading, I was slower than the other kids. Then I met my wonderful 5th grade teacher Ms. Phelps, she made every subject fun. She helped me so much with my reading and writing, she inspired me to work harder. She will always be my favorite teacher.
