History
The original building was built in 1957 and is now where the 5th grade, Spanish, and superintendent office is. In 1968 two additional hallways were added which now serve LASEC, 6th grade, a gym and main office. In 2002, another hallway was added which serves 7th and 8th graders. This addition made the school a square shape with a playground in the middle. In the early 2000s, due to overcrowding an additional two-story building was added to the school to serve Pre-K, kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. With this addition a dedicated choir/music room was added and so was the teachers lounge.
