The 1951 date on the cornerstone of the building reflects a time when solid construction was the norm. This solid construction is also reflective of the programs offered to the 510 Irving students in grades K through 6 and their families. Standards drive a program strong in research-based curriculum and assessment.
Students receive instruction that reflects the most current, proven practices in education.
The major focus is always the individual child and what can be done by the total staff to help that child be a successful learner. That is why the mission of Irving School is to encourage life-long learning and develop responsible citizens. A feeling of community is evident as you walk through the door exemplified by the warm reception from the office, students leading the pledge, birthday announcements, and the student work proudly displayed throughout the school. Excellent instruction, a talented, experienced and caring staff combined with tremendous parent support have created an instructional program that places Irving students' performance by grade as one of the top two elementary schools in the district. Student, staff and parents take tremendous pride in the school.
