Principal

Dear EES Baby Gator Parents and Students,

Welcome back to the 2026-2027 school year!  As your principal, I am ecstatic about our future together and anticipate great things as we embark on this new journey.  Myself alongside the faculty and staff of Estill Elementary are excited to work with each and every one of you!  We are thrilled to have a few new faces and some changes to positions, and we are especially enthused about the growth that our students have made!!

 

This year we stand firm on the shoulders of our new vision and mission:

Estill Elementary’s vision is to become a School of Excellence where every child is empowered to achieve academic success, develop strong character, and cultivate social-emotional well-being in a safe and engaging learning environment.

Our work is guided by our mission:

Estill Elementary’s mission is to provide high-quality instruction and interventions that support our students academically and behaviorally.

At Estill Elementary, we believe our vision and mission will:

Allow our students to demonstrate their BEST

B – Behave Responsibly

E – Exceed Expectations

S – Scholarship First

T – Teamwork Always

The goal is for our students to develop world-class skills that prepare them to thrive in an ever-changing global society and become world-class South Carolina graduates who are equipped to lead, serve, and succeed in college, careers, and life.

All of this cannot be accomplished without your help.  Parent involvement is crucial to a child’s education, alongside a working relationship to assist in meeting our common goal.  Please take advantage of the opportunity by way of joining our PTA (Parent Teacher Association), SIC (School Improvement Council), or simply by paying us a visit.

In addition to a working relationship, we must govern ourselves by the policies and procedures that are in place by all stakeholders.  Our handbook is filled with important information regarding school policy and procedures.  An electronic version can be found at; https://ees.hcsdsc.org/. To find the policies that govern our school and district please visit our district website (https://hcsd.k12.sc.us/) for more detailed policy information. Please review the handbook together.  If you have any questions, please call the main office: (803) 625 - 5030.

Sincerely,

Synetria L. Mitchell
