Johnson was established in 1988, and was named after Mary and Curtis Johnson. They were long-time educators here in Fort Collins. Our mission is to "prepare today's child for tomorrow's world." We believe in educating the whole child.  While many schools also claim they believe in educating the whole child, what makes us different is we put funding towards meeting the needs of the whole child. Through our committment to educating the while child, we have been a strong community school for over 30 years. We offer a wide range of educational opportunities that include our core classes as well as a full menu of specials classes. Like all schools in Poudre School District, we offer a quality education based on Colorado State Standards. We use district adopted materials in both literacy and math to support students in mastering these standards. We fund our specials programming to offer one full hour of specials for every child, every day.  These specials include art, music, physical education, technology, media (30 min weekly), and counseling (30 min weekly).  Through our offerings, we are able to meet each child's academic, social, emotional, and behavioral needs.  We have a full spectrum of services. Additionally, we offer both before and after school enrichment opportunities that range from climbing club, to running club, to Mathy Olympiads, to our Husky Choir. We invite you to explore Johnson Elementary!
