“Our campus lives and breathes CKH and I believe that is a main reason why our climate and culture at Peach Creek Elementary is so positive and uplifting. Each classroom as well as our campus staff have our own personalized social contracts that make our campus feel like a second home where everyone's needs are met. I love Peach Creek and it really feels like everyone there is my family.”
