Junction Elementary is one of four elementary schools in the Turner district consisting of students in grades preschool-5th grade. There are approximately 300 students and 50 faculty and staff members. At Junction we constantly strive for students to make the right choices in their education and teach them to be responsible for themselves and their work. Parents and community have always been involved with our building, especially with food drives, PTA fundraisers, field trips, Back to School Night, assemblies, and holiday celebrations.
