Glover School



Glover School is a public elementary school on Maple Street in Marblehead, Massachusetts, US. It educates around 250 students in grades K-3. The school consists of two buildings situated on a hilly 4.78 acre site.

History
The school was designed by architect Walter S. Brodie. It consists of two buildings. The 'lower building' was built in 1916 and the 'upper building' in 1948.

In May 1999 the community debated the cost of repairs to Glover School.

In mid-2012 both buildings were demolished so that a new Glover School could be built in their place. School officials said the original buildings were antiquated and hard to maintain. The new building will have modern utilities and will add a kindergarten, increasing total enrollment to 425 students.

Academics
The approach at Glover to Mathematics teaching was discussed in November 2001. The school currently uses the GoMath Program.

Murder of teacher
On November 27, 1950, Beryl Atherton a teacher at the school, was found at her home with her throat slashed. The murder remains unsolved.
