A Message from the Principal of Austin Elementary

Welcome to J. C. Austin Elementary, where we are committed to designing instruction that meets individual needs and providing a comprehensive network of support for every student. I’m Jonathan Royle, Ed.D., proud Principal of this exceptional school community. At our core, we believe that all students can learn at high levels when they are met with high expectations, strong relationships, and purposeful learning experiences.
Our staff works collaboratively to create an environment where students are empowered to take ownership of their learning and grow as thinkers, leaders, and contributors. From our student leadership program and National Elementary Honor Society to Battle of the Books and the Amazing Shake competition, we offer opportunities that challenge students to communicate, collaborate, and demonstrate confidence in real-world settings.
As a campus leader, I strive to model a culture of positivity, reflection, and continuous improvement. At J. C. Austin Elementary, we are focused on building a learning community where every child is known, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Thank you for being an essential part of our journey.
Warm regards,
Dr. Jonathan Royle
