The school was named after T.E. Baxter, a veteran and 29 year educator. Mr. Baxter remains involved in the school. He visits each Tuesday and has reading time with students. They LOVE to see him!

Baxter believes in “doing what is best for the student”. The school’s theme is “Circle of Friends”, and that’s just what Baxter is. It holds true from the students, staff, and volunteers, to the community. Staff members work very hard to educate and help mold our students into well rounded individuals.

Many special services are available to meet students’ needs. The campus offers a continuum of services designed to meet the goals for every student.

These Instructional Programs Include:

Other programs and student activities include: Gifted and Talented programs, LEAP tutoring (for extended school-day instruction), Destination Imagination, Math Pentathlon, Safety Patrol, Choir & Music Club, Service Learning projects, Community Service Problem Solving, and Technology Integration in all subject areas.

Baxter also has a wonderful and dedicated volunteer group called TEAM. This organization is headed up by parent volunteers and offers ongoing support throughout the year. They assist the staff, students, and over-all school needs with countless daily tasks. Their invaluable presence helps make Baxter what it is today.

Baxter welcomes all parents and volunteers to be an active part of our school. We are all working for the same goal - the success of our children’s future!
