From Our Customers and Colleagues

Meeting the Straka-Johnson Architects team members after reviewing their innovative plans for replacing Prescott Elementary, our School Board was won over to their efficient and qualitative use of space and their dedication to the use of natural light. Prescott was a marvelous stepping stone to George Washington Carver Elementary School, another gem in the DCSD community of schools.
Donna Bauerly, Ph.D., ex DCSD Board President and 13 year school board member
