A note from the principal:

Welcome to the Houdini Elementary school website. I invite you to be a part of the magical learning experience at Houdini by exploring the embedded web pages.

We are the second largest elementary school in the Appleton Area School District with a current enrollment of 640 students.

At Houdini Elementary we believe learning brings enjoyment and fulfillment. The staff here believes that every child possesses the ability to learn. In addition to ensuring our learners are academically proficient we are dedicated to their physical, emotional, and social needs with an emphasis on individualized instruction.     In an increasingly diverse and global society, we also focus on preparing our students to be creative, curious, and imaginative.   At Houdini we are also committed to ensuring all students are strong, critical thinkers, confident, cared for, and valued.

Furthermore, we are constantly engaged in the dynamic process of improvement in which we seek ways to improve instruction and energize our young learners to be critical thinkers and active participants in their education.     As a team of dedicated educators we are enthusiastic about expanding our competencies. We have formulated a Continuous School Improvement Plan that is a collaborative effort between staff and parents

Houdini is dedicated to students and families so that our children may walk into their future equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful.
