On behalf of the faculty and staff of Pioneer Elementary, I am pleased t welcome you to the Pioneer Elementary website. The Graham ISD vision is: Graham ISD, Excellence in All We Do. At Pioneer our vision is: Pioneer Elementary, Where Excellence Begins! We believe that a strong early childhood education program lays the foundation for a child’s entire educational experience. At Pioneer we will love, nuture, and engage your children in activities that will meet their social-emotional needs, develop communication skills,  and foster early academic success. 

Pioneer Elementary currently serves approximately 260 students in half-day Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) and full-day Pre-K and Kindergarten. In 2020-21 we began a partnership with our local Head Start to broaden, strengthen, and align early childhood education opportunities for 3 year olds in Graham. 

Thank you for the opportunity to serve your kids. I look forward to meeting each one of you!

Donna Gatlin
