A Word From
Our Principal
As the principal of this vibrant learning community, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to all our students, parents, and visitors. Nestled in the heart of a breathtaking coastal area, our school is not just a place for academic instruction—it is a nurturing ground for young minds and spirits, where the journey of learning is as important as the knowledge gained.

What sets us apart?
At Deer Isle-Stonington Elementary, our distinct approach to education sets us apart. We foster a close-knit environment that celebrates every individual, reflected in our small class sizes and personalized learning initiatives. Embracing the rich maritime heritage that surrounds us, our hands-on, place-based learning philosophy ensures that students engage with the world beyond our classrooms. Our passionate educators seek to inspire not just academic excellence, but also civic responsibility and environmental stewardship. It’s this holistic, heart-centered education that prepares our students to be the thinkers, leaders, and compassionate citizens who are as resilient and dynamic as the coastal landscape we call home.
