We are in our third year at this school and have loved every minute. The teachers are excellent, the school culture is supportive and inclusive and safety is a priority. I would highly recommend Cold Harbor Elementary School!

My son will be starting 1st grade at CHES in a week. I am already thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism and enthusiasm! I attended the 5th grade graduation ceremony at the end of the 2012-2013 school year and it was phenomenal. The feeling of community between the students, faculty and parents was like nothing I have seen before.
