About Our School
Patrick Murphy, Superintendent
Michael Havens, Principal
Margaret McKenny Elementary was built in southeast Olympia, in the middle of a field filled with yellow scotch broom and hawks nesting in trees. Thus, the hawks became the perfect McKenny mascot.
Architecturally, the building is designed into three pods of 20 classrooms. Grade level teachers, itinerant teachers and support staff work together to provide the best possible learning environment for all of our children, preschool through 5th grade. McKenny Elementary welcomes parent and community volunteers to assist in all aspects of our educational and co-curricular day. The facility is used daily by community groups such as YMCA, Olympia Parks and Recreation, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, PTO and neighborhood associations.

Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)
MAP is a district assessment that measures a student's developing skills through a series of questions that adapt to the child’s level of learning. Research on MAP indicates the results are highly accurate. The results help teachers measure growth and determine whether a student may need more support or more challenge.
Due to pandemic-related school closures, 2019-20 MAP assessment data is not available.
