Giffen Memorial Elementary School
is a neighborhood elementary school that serves
approximately 430 students in prekindergarten through grade 6. Giffen is an exciting place to learn where
children develop their natural gifts and abilities as
they gain confidence in their potential.

We are proud to be able to provide a range of programs
and services to take care of our children's academic
needs as well as provide health and wellness services
on-site. These services include
mobile dental health services through our
partnership with the St. Peter's Hospital and Ronald
McDonald House, and
school-based health services through our partnership
with Whitney M. Young Jr. Health Services, in addition
to mental health and other wellness services on
premises.
