ER Taylor Elementary School

Mission Statement

ER Taylor Elementary, a pre-K through 5 school directed by Principal Christine Hiroshima, is located in the Southeast section of San Francisco. We are one of the largest elementary schools in San Francisco, with a population of 770 students. Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths, as our staff and families work hard to celebrate and appreciate our collective cultures. We offer bilingual classes in both Chinese and Spanish, in addition to English Language Development classes. In order to support a diverse student body, ER Taylor has developed strong coordinated services to assist students and families. Examples of these programs are the SB65 School Based Motivation and Maintenance Program, the Healthy Start Program, Family Connections and Linking San Francisco. We also pride ourselves in strong academic and community building programs, which include Early Literacy, Reading Recovery, Tribes, Service Learning and Environmental Awareness. We are a Bay Area School Reform Collaborative Leadership School and are working as a school community to continuously improve teaching and learning. Finally, our College Bound Program and vision--which drives all that we do at ER Taylor--brings together community and school resources to create a climate of high expectations and support necessary so that all of our students have the essential skills and competencies to be college bound.
