Principal’s Message
Welcome to Blackburn Elementary School, home of the Bobcats! I’m honored to have served as principal here for the past 10 years, and I can truly say: Once a Bobcat, Always a Bobcat!
Blackburn is more than just a school, we are a family. Every day, our staff, students, and families support one another through challenges, celebrate each other’s successes, and take time to laugh, learn, and grow together. We are proud to be part of the Foard Feeder pattern, preparing our students with the knowledge, confidence, and character they need to thrive at Blackburn, on to Jacobs Fork, then Fred T. Foard High School and beyond.
Our daily motto says it best:
Welcome to Blackburn Elementary, where we LEAD!
At Blackburn, we...
Laugh, Learn, Love
Embrace Diversity
Attain and Maintain Focus on our Highest Priorities
Decide to Attack Each Day with Positivity
These guiding principles shape everything we do from the way we build relationships to the way we pursue academic excellence. Whether you’re a new family just joining our school or a long-time member of our community, we’re excited to have you with us on this journey.
Here’s to another amazing year at Blackburn Elementary where we lead with heart, spirit, and Bobcat pride.
With Bobcat Pride,
Jessica Minton-Cable
