Message from the Principal's Office

Welcome to the John H. Taggart School. 

We believe all children can learn.  We are committed to provide a safe learning environment so all children can and will achieve to their highest potential.  Our website aims to showcase our diversity as well as highlighting our outstanding art, music, technology and athletic programs. 

Our teachers are involved with University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education’s Distributed Leadership model which focuses on shared instructional practices.

Extra curriculum activities include School Newsletter Club, Basketball and Soccer Teams, Yearbook and Chess Club to develop the whole child.  Extended Day Program and Education Works also provide additional after school programs for Taggart students. 

Our Home & School and Student Council play a vital role in our school. 

Come visit Taggart – we are proud of our students and staff!
