Fostering Respect for Self and Others
Six Houses, One Family: Growing Together!
We were very excited to start our third year of the House System here at Kersey Creek Elementary! Whether you're in House Kula (respectful), House Balena (responsible), House Tatonka (trustworthy), House Nukumori (kindness), House Huruma (empathy), or House Ionracas (integrity), we are all Comets! Welcome to a great year of learning and growing together!
Create, Think, Grow
Learning is always a joyful experience at the Creek. We are very excited to have a community of teachers, administrators, parents, and business partners who support our mission to create, learn, and grow. Join us as we continue to build the rich legacy that is the essence of Hanover County Public Schools.
