OFFICIAL page of Matt Elementary, home to over 1,000 wonderful students. Located in Cumming, Georgia since 2001! Ms.

Matt Elementary opened in 2001 with approximately 600 students. It was named after the original Matt Elementary, which was located on Bannister Road. The “Old Matt” school was named after the Matt community, which was named after Matison Martin. The original Matt school held 75 students in multiple grades. Rather than desks, students sat on slab benches around an open fireplace. Their drinking wat

er came from a nearby spring and students walked to school. Mary Harwell was the first principal of the new Matt Elementary. The school was a new design concept (the same as Cumming Elementary) and was built to relieve overcrowding in north-west Forsyth County.

We had such a wonderful time continuing the long‑standing tradition of our 5th Grade and Senior Walk. It was truly special to welcome our former Mariners back into the halls and even more meaningful to see them reconnect with the teachers who helped shape their journey from the very beginning.
There’s something incredibly powerful about watching wide‑eyed 5th graders look up to graduating seniors—seeing both where they are now and where they’re headed next. In that moment, the full circle of education comes to life.
We wish both of our graduating classes the absolute best as they step into their next chapter. Once a Mariner, always a Mariner!

What an incredible final week it has been—filled with important milestones, joyful celebrations, and unforgettable memories!
We are so proud of each and every Mariner and the tremendous growth they’ve made this year. Every one of you played a unique role in making this school year one of the best yet!
We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled summer. We love you, and it’s not goodbye—just see you later. We can’t wait to see you in August!

5 Star Dining!
Our students recently enjoyed a truly special reward after participating in the 5 Star Dining Challenge! By demonstrating positive SAIL behaviors, winning classes earned a one-of-a-kind “5 Star” lunch experience. The cafeteria stage was transformed with elegant décor and fancy dinnerware, creating a memorable atmosphere. Our amazing counselors provided top-notch service, making every student feel like a VIP. From start to finish, the students were all smiles—it was a well-deserved celebration they absolutely loved!
