Principal's Message

Welcome to Helmsburg Elementary where We Believe and Achieve!
(Boundless, Empowered, Lifelong learners, Initiators, Enlightened, Valued, Encouraged)

Our school is set in a beautiful rural setting in the northwest corner of Brown County, Indiana. We serve students in grades PreK – 6, with Kindergarten being a full day program. We are a School-wide Title I school with one Title I teacher serving our children. We are one of four elementary schools in the county. The school day begins at 7:50 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m.

Our building is also the focal point of many community activities. The facilities are used throughout the year for family reunions, basketball, softball, baseball, volleyball, soccer, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, and adult recreation. In addition, the school is used as a polling station on Election Day and as a site for the Brown County Schools’ After-School Care Program.

Helmsburg’s staff is an experienced group of individuals who are dedicated to the academic achievement of each child. We believe that the students learn in a variety of ways and the teachers strive to meet those needs. We also believe that Helmsburg provides a safe and secure environment for children. High standards that are set by our staff can be reached when a child feels cared for and safe. Helmsburg provides this “family” type of atmosphere.

Thank you for visiting our school web site!
