History:

Originally Webb Chapel Elementary, the school was constructed in 1959. The name of the school was later changed after the death of its first principal, Neil Ray McLaughlin, in 1967. Mr. McLaughlin also served in the school district as a teacher at Carrollton High School, assistant Principal at Vivian Field Junior High School, and principal at the old Farmers Branch Elementary School.

We currently serve students in grades pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. A qualified, caring staff has developed special programs to meet the individual needs of students, whether they need academic support or gifted services. Our active PTA and volunteer program enhances the sense of community that McLaughlin is noted for.
