Our Stories

In our 24 years living in Pocatello, we’ve raised five kids who have all attended the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District. Our interactions with principals and teachers have shown us they truly care about each student’s growth and success. They provide a supportive, welcoming environment where children are challenged and encouraged to do their best academically and personally. We feel blessed to be a part of this wonderful community of educators and learners.

Growing up in a family of educators where higher education was encouraged, a quality education is incredibly important. We choose the district because of the extra intervention time, pushing him where he's excelling and helping review what he is struggling with. He loves school and feels loved, encouraged and accepted by everyone at the school.

We continue to choose the Pocatello-Chubbuck School District because of its strong commitment to students as individuals. The teachers truly care about my children’s academic growth and emotional well-being. Gate City Elementary, in particular, makes us feel welcomed and supported, helping our family feel valued and connected as an international family.

We choose Pocatello/Chubbuck School District, especially Gate City Elementary because we love the welcoming, inclusive, trusting, and knowledgeable teachers and staff. We appreciate the extra resources that are available to help learners who need extra support in our district. This service was a BIG game changer for us and our learner. They are now on the road to success, because they were SEEN as an individual learner with potential and not just "another student".

As a parent of five children across multiple grade levels, including children with additional needs, our experience has been shaped by the dedication of teachers and school administrators who truly see and value each child. Public education matters to our family because it is rooted in inclusion, access, and a commitment to serving every student, not just some. The educators in our schools have listened, supported our family, and worked in partnership with us to help our children succeed, which is why we continue to choose public education.

Julie is able to talk problems through at the learners' level and makes sure all voices are heard. She is sure to get to the bottom of an issue no matter how long it takes. She has taken on our school's new behavior system to help make it a success by following through with every detail. She calls parents when needed and meets with teachers often to keep them in the loop of what is happening with our learners. The best thing about Julie is that she does it all with a smile and a positive attitude! She works well with the staff and is so fun to be around! She makes our school a special place for learners and staff to succeed!
