Picolata Crossing Elementary proudly opened its doors to the students and families of central St. Johns County in 2017. Since then, our school has been committed to providing high levels of learning in Academics, Behavior, and Character Counts, creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where every child can thrive.

At PCES, our vision is to empower every student, every day, through well-rounded experiences to become lifelong learners who demonstrate good character. Our dedicated faculty and staff work together to provide an exceptional educational experience that nurtures academic excellence, leadership, critical thinking, and personal responsibility. Every Puma learns and grows through our ABCs—Academics, Behavior, and Character Counts—building the skills and values needed for success both in and out of the classroom.

Pumas are encouraged to reach high expectations while participating in meaningful experiences that create lasting memories. Whether broadcasting the morning news, challenging themselves on the Puma Power Course, or enjoying a family movie night under the stars, students are inspired to learn, lead, and connect with their school community. These experiences help shape confident, compassionate learners who are prepared to make a positive impact wherever life takes them.
