Community

We are a true neighborhood school, in LRSD Zone 8.
McDermott is very much involved with the community.
Seven committed Partners in Education contribute time, money, and resources to enable the staff to provide the children with the best education possible. These contributions vary to include providing tutoring, mentoring and after school programs to providing landscaping and printing services. The students give back with Christmas caroling, artwork displays, and lasting friendships.
