Imagine dropping your child off for their very first day of school. 💭

They're welcomed by caring teachers.

They make new friends.

And before long, they're laughing with their Grandbuddies, reading stories together, making crafts, and creating memories that will last for years.

That's what makes Elk Crossing Pre-K so special.

What if your child's very first school experience included dozens of honorary grandparents? 🤔

At Duncan Public Schools' Elk Crossing Pre-K, our students don't just learn their ABCs and 123s. They build genuine friendships with our Grandbuddies through our unique partnership with the residents of Elk Crossing.

Together they read books, create art, play games, celebrate holidays, and share countless smiles.

These special relationships help our students develop kindness, confidence, empathy, and communication skills while bringing joy and purpose to our Grandbuddies.

This isn't just another Pre-K classroom.

It's a place where generations grow together.

When enrolling your child in Pre-K, consider the one-of-a-kind experience waiting at Elk Crossing.

Please join us in welcoming Emily Prichard as the new Agricultural Education Teacher and FFA Advisor at Duncan High School!

Mrs. Prichard is no stranger to Duncan Public Schools, having previously served as our Pathways to Future Careers Internship Teacher/Coordinator. Her passion for education, career readiness, and helping students discover their potential makes her a great fit for this role.

Inspired by her own experiences in 4-H and FFA, Emily believes agricultural education goes beyond the classroom. It’s about developing leaders, encouraging personal growth, and preparing students for career success while helping them discover opportunities they may not have known existed.

As she begins this new role, Emily is excited to work alongside students, families, alumni, and the community while encouraging more students to explore all that Duncan FFA has to offer.

If you’re looking for a place where your student can build confidence, develop leadership skills, make lifelong friendships, and prepare for their future, Duncan FFA has something to offer.
We’d love to welcome new members this year!

Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Prichard to her new role! We look forward to an exciting year for Duncan FFA.
