Fort Daniel Elementary School is located on 21 acres near the site of an early 1800s military fort. The Fort Daniel outpost no longer stands, but the school's name serves as a reminder of the area's frontier past. Now a thriving suburban community, the area surrounding the school continues to experience considerable commercial and residential growth.
Fort Daniel's school motto is "Learners today, leaders tomorrow." School administrators and faculty have high expectations for student achievement and work with parents to maximize success.
Fort Daniel school colors are navy and white and the mascot is a mountain lion.
