Welcome to Matty Akin Elementary School's Home Page. We are one of eleven elementary schools in Greenville. We have an enrollment of approximately 600 students. 

Our school mascot is the owl and our school colors are blue and gold.

As Greenville's largest elementary school, we, the administration of Matty Akin, follow the philosophy that all children should be afforded the opportunity to receive an education that
goes beyond the basics. Students must be enabled to solve problems, to analyze literature, to use computers and other technological media, and to read and write in a logical manner.

Matty Akin is proactive in its undertakings. We seek to implement new methods of instruction that will reach the diverse populations that we serve. In order to accomplish this aim, Akin has readied many brain-based procedures to achieve our objectives.

On Saturday, September 22, 2007, the story was  aired on NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO.  So our students were recognized nation wide.  You can hear the  interview at the following link or you can go to the Mississippi Public Radio online archives.
