Moran Elementary School as it stands, November 2026

KINDERGARTEN–GRADE 5 · 305 NORTH BEECH ROAD · PRINCIPAL LISA RUSSELL · THE KNIGHTS · A TITLE I SCHOOL

Moran Elementary School is Osceola's school: a public elementary school of the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation at 305 North Beech Road, Osceola, IN 46561 (574-674-8504), teaching kindergarten through fifth grade, school day 8:40 a.m. to 3:05 p.m., home of the Knights, and one of the corporation's five Title I elementary schools (with Elm Road, Elsie Rogers, Meadow's Edge, and Walt Disney). Its principal, verified on both the corporation's directory and the school's own page on November 11, 2026, is Lisa Russell; her assistant to the principal is Amanda Fox. The principal's line behind Russell is partly lit: Frank Anglin, Ed.S., was Moran's principal by January 9, 2015, when the corporation's substitute-teacher handbook lists him in the post, and he was still issuing the school's principal's newsletters in January 2019; Russell was in the role by June 18, 2020, the date on her official headshot's file — a clue to the transition, not a documented start date, and the exact handover, and every Moran principal before Anglin, ride as GAP-OSSCH-3 with the corporation's personnel records as settler. The enrollment prints with its years and its spread, unharmonized: the National Center for Education Statistics series carried by SchoolDigger and PublicSchoolReview gives 444 students in 2020, 411 in 2024, and 389 in 2025 — the 2025 figure a decline of about nine percent over five school years, with 22 teachers — while DonorsChoose, updated November 9, 2026, on NCES data through MDR Education, gives 379 students in pre-kindergarten through grade 5 with 21 teachers; the difference is a matter of year and of the pre-kindergarten count, and no single "current" figure is asserted beyond the dated ones. The corporation around the school, for scale: eleven elementary schools, three middle schools, and Penn High School — nearly 11,000 students in fifteen schools across 135 square miles, administered from the Dr. A. Dean Speicher Educational Services Center in Mishawaka. The town of Osceola is zoned to Moran; its children leave Beech Road for Grissom Middle School and then Penn High School, the ladder the next entry climbs era by era.
