Principal's Message

Paul Elston
Elementary Principal

I would like to welcome you and your child to Challis Elementary School and Stanley Elementary/ Junior High School. We recognize that parents play a vital role in the learning process and have a major influence on your child’s academic success.

I believe students, parents, and educators working together can offer students a solid foundation of academic knowledge and skills to further their education.

I have spent the majority of my career in small, rural Idaho schools, enjoying the privilege of working with small communities and in their schools. Rural communities provide great opportunities for learning and can help every child make positive contributions to the world. We appreciate your support in assisting us with student learning and personal growth!
