Our School

Who We Are:

Madison Elementary School is part of the “A” rated Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation, where excellence in education is pursued and achieved at all levels. Madison is one of P-H-M’s five Title I schools. Our students feel supported and encouraged to reach their full potential. Click here for the Title I Parents’ Right To Know Letter.

Madison Elementary School Community is dedicated to promoting and maximizing the education of all students.  We accept the challenge to develop the academic skills and lifelong guidelines needed for each student to become a problem solver, an effective communicator, and life-long learner.  We consistently work toward creating a positive learning environment that encourages students to be successful, gain confidence, respect others, and possess the qualities to be productive contributors in our society.

Our staff of compassionate and engaged teachers receive ongoing professional development in everything from the IDOE state standards to utilizing social emotional learning and restorative practices in the classrooms.

We are a 1:1 Technology district, which means that every student at Madison, as well as every student in the P-H-M school district, has access to their own Chromebook that they use every day in the classroom (kindergartners use iPads). 

We are the Panthers and our colors are Royal Blue and White.  Our culture is captured in our school motto, which is “Building a Foundation on Which to Grow.”

History

The original Madison School building was a a two-room facility built at the turn of the century on the current site where our school stands today. A new building was constructed in 1924 for students in elementary through high school for an enrollment of 350 students. In 1964, the school became part of the Penn-Harris-Madison school district and high school students went to Penn High School. Madison continued as a middle and elementary school until 1968 when Grissom Middle School opened. In 1986, a new elementary school was built which retained the original high school gym.

We celebrate our rich history every year with the annual Fish Fry! Click here to see photos.
