Kimberly Crate

It is an honor to be the Principal of a school in which the hard work, commitment and unwavering dedication from our students, teachers/staff, parents and community has led to a tradition of excellence. I am excited to be a part of such a wonderful school community that embraces learning and is dedicated to student success!
At Pea Ridge Elementary, our mission is to love, educate and prepare students for graduation and a successful future. To do so, we focus on providing an environment that fosters each learner’s potential, equips students for academic excellence and promotes lifelong learning.
I look forward to teaming together as we work to provide the very best possible education to each of our students. Please consider partnering us by working with your child at home, volunteering at the school, and/or serving on the School Support Team or SAC.
I am excited about the present as well as what the future holds for PRE!
