Geneva Heights Elementary is a neighborhood Title I school nestled into a very diverse neighborhood in East Dallas. Together, the faculty, staff and PTA aim to develop well-rounded student leaders equipped with the skills to become globally-conscious citizens dedicated to lifelong learning.
After two years at a temporary campus, we are back home! We are now busy “planting seeds of knowledge” with our community garden. In partnership with Grow Garden Grow, an organization started by former teachers with a passion for gardening, we're developing a hands-on curriculum and garden experience for our students. We’re also focused on cultivating comfort and curiosity with a Kid’s Corner which will be a welcoming space for families visiting our campus, filled with books, STEM toys, and cozy seating.
