Welcome to Gwyneth Ham Elementary School, home of the Rams! We're a Reading First school located in Yuma Arizona, the third fastest growing area in the United States. We experience beautiful weather nine months out of the year, a wonderful reward for experiencing the desert's natural heat. We also have a great water resource, the Colorado River, which meanders its way nearby, giving beauty to our city and school's surroundings.

Students and teachers at Gwyneth Ham work hard and diligently. We love to learn every day. We're proud to be a Reading First school and also a performing school, according to the AZ Department of Education. This means we are consistently meeting educational expectations every year. We're also very actively involved in improving the reading skills and fluency of your children. That's the great thing about receiving the extra funding from the Reading First grant.

We encourage you to spend some time here with us Rams. Get to know us and call us if you have any questions. Just check our calendar events or read about parent involvement and other news and event items. Read our FAQ page for a list of commonly asked questions. We're glad to have you with us. Go Rams!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

It is our vision that we expect "students to reach their academic and social potentials." To that end, I am proud to say that Gwyneth Ham earned a PERFORMING label under AZ LEARNS for the 2008-2009 school year! We were successful because our parents, teachers, and students worked together towards making Gwyneth Ham the best school in Yuma.

I look forward to the challenge of continuing to reach and exceed our expectations this year and in the future.  

Sincerely,

Ms. Rebecca Kuechel, Principal
