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
