Principal's Message

Principal's Message
Dear Anthony Families,
 
It is with great enthusiasm that I introduce myself to you as a proud member of the Susan B. Anthony Elementary School community. With over 28 years dedicated to the Garden Grove Unified School District, I have had the privilege of serving in various roles including teacher, MTSS Coach, and Assistant Principal. Each of these experiences has deepened my commitment to our students, teachers, and families.
 
At the heart of my philosophy is a steadfast dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every child can thrive. I firmly believe in the power of collaboration and teamwork among all stakeholders—students, parents, teachers, and the broader community. Together, we can create a nurturing educational experience that inspires growth, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
 
I am eager to embark on this educational experience with you, working hand in hand to ensure every student reaches their full potential and feels valued within our school community. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have. Your input is invaluable as we strive to provide the best possible education for our students.
 
Here’s to a successful and rewarding school year ahead!
 
Warm regards,
Kathleen Ash
Principal, Susan B. Anthony Elementary School

Our School

The teachers and staff at Susan B. Anthony Elementary School are hardworking and dedicated to providing our students with high quality learning experiences and preparing them for a future filled with success.

Gifted and Talented Education Program (GATE)

We are proud to offer an on-site GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) Program.  GATE students are grouped in general education classrooms with GATE-trained teachers who understand how to meet the unique needs of gifted learners.  Our GATE teachers adhere to GATE Standards and attend on-going professional development training.

Technology and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)

At Susan B. Anthony School, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is a priority.  Our staff members realize the importance of preparing students for a future in technology.  Thus we have a strong commitment to providing students with a broad and rich experience with technology. We are very proud to offer students the opportunity to use both iPads and Chromebooks with a 1:1 ratio in 1st – 6th grade and 2:1 ratio in Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten.   Students participate in coding, robotics, movie-making, just to name a few.  We are currently developing our new Information and Technology Center to integrate even more technology opportunities to enrich our student program. 

The Arts

In addition to our STEM focus, we are also proud to offer a strong program in the Arts.  We currently have specially trained music teachers that provide vocal music instruction weekly to all students.  Students in 5th and 6th grade have the opportunity to participate in the Susan B. Anthony Choir.  Additionally, we have an instrumental music teacher who provides instruction to students in 4th-6th grades.  Many of our exceptional musicians participate in honors choir and honors band.  In addition to music, students also participate in FIBO art instruction and workshops throughout the year.

A Certified Kindness School

Susan B. Anthony scholars and staff participate in the National Great Kindness Challenge. Students spend a week focusing on acts of kindness.  This special week engages students and the community in the importance of creating a culture of kindness.  Our students said it best, “Peace, love, and kindness is the Anthony Way.”
