Inscription.
Louisville Elementary School was built in 1959. The opening of the original Louisville Elementary Building marked the first time that the City had a separate public school for its elementary-aged students. Prior to the construction of the 1959 LES facility, all public school student in grades 1-12 went to the same building which stood on the corner of Mill and Gorgas Streets from 1922 thru 2009. During the school's 53-year life span, Louisville Elementary gained a sterling reputation for its outstanding students, supportive parents, and dedicated staff members. Many citizens of our community can still recall the excitement of walking into the newly constructed Louisville Elementary School in February of 1959.
