Engaging in Excellence for Every Student, Every Day!

Dear Students, Parents, Families & Community Members,

Greetings from Elfrida Elementary. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself as your new elementary principal.  My name is Justin Price, and I graduated from Elfrida Elementary in 1994 and Valley Union in 1998.  After high school, I attended Northern Arizona University and received my bachelor's degree in Political Science.  I also joined the Arizona Army National Guard as a Motor Transport Operator shortly after high school graduation.  I turned the National Guard into a full-time career until I was medically retired in 2010.  I deployed twice in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom during my service time. 

Upon leaving the service, I began my education career as a substitute teacher and was quickly hired as a Junior High Social Studies teacher.  Over the course of seven years, I taught many subjects and grade levels from 7th-12th grades, including science, history, government, economics, and multiple electives.  I have coached cross country, golf, basketball, football, and E-Sports.  I received my Master's in Educational Leadership/Principalship from Arizona State University. I moved into an administrative role as a Dean of Students and Academic Advisor before taking this position.

I am truly excited to be back in Elfrida and to work with your students to help them reach their full potential.  I am a firm believer in the belief that all students can achieve and grow.  I look forward to meeting and working with you to help Elfrida Elementary become the best school it can be.  Please email me or call the school office to schedule a meeting if you would like to sit down and discuss anything.

Sincerely,

Justin Price

Principal

Elfrida Elementary School
