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.
Mission Statement:
The mission of McLaughlin Elementary is to provide educational
experiences that develop citizens who possess the confidence, knowledge,
and thinking skills necessary to solve problems, adapt to change, and
continue individual growth through life-long learning.
