SCHOOL GOALS
H. W. Byers Elementary is located in Holly Springs, MS and is one of 7 elementary schools in Marshall County
School District. It is a public school that serves 310 students in grades K-5 th.
H W Byers Elementary School has an overall school letter grade of B- for the current year of 2014. The overall
letter grade is based on three classroom subjects: Math, Language Arts & Science. According to state standards, 44% of
students at this school are considered proficient in math and/or reading.
Here at H.W. Byers we believe open communication with parents is the key to success for our students. Our
parents are involved in most of the decision-making and serve on several committees within the school. We encourage all
parents to get involved in at least one program around the school.
At H.W. Byers, we believe it is our duty to build a solid educational foundation for our students. The foundation they
receive at the elementary and middle school levels is a huge determining factor in their success later in life. Our goal is to
meet each child where they are and grow them each and every day. The mission of H.W. Byers Elementary is to prepare
our children for a successful future by giving them the skills and tools they need to progress to high school and beyond
because EDUCATING MINORS IS OUR MAJOR BUSINESS!!
