Mission:

Huntertown Elementary School provides a safe and nurturing environment that encourages each child to reach his or her maximum social, emotional, and academic potential. Realizing each student is a unique learner, we strive to meet individual needs. Through a cooperative effort that networks the family, school, and community, the staff at Huntertown Elementary is committed to developing lifelong learners who will become responsible citizens.

About Us:

Huntertown is a dynamic learning community that has a rich history of meeting the needs of students in the Huntertown area. Huntertown School has existed since 1922 when the facility opened. For more than 40 years the school served the community as a K-12 facility. Huntertown’s last class of high school seniors graduated in 1967, and with the opening of the new Carroll High School, Huntertown became a K-8 school. Subsequent years saw the opening of two middle schools, which changed Huntertown’s role to a K-6, then to its current role as a K-5 facility.

Huntertown Elementary School operates with a staff of full-time certified teachers, six part-time certified teachers or specialists, one full-time administrator, one full-time counselor, and 30 support staff. The staff and school community serve a current enrollment of 542 students in grades K–5. School programs include a variety of learning experiences for students: gifted and talented programs, special education programs for a wide range of learning disabilities, a special needs 4-5 program, an LEP (Limited English Proficiency) program, and many others designed to meet and challenge our wide range of learners’ needs. Huntertown is also an Indiana Four-Star school, most recently for the 2011-2012 school year.

The community is proud of Huntertown Elementary School and very supportive of the school’s functions. Many parents, grandparents, and special guests visit our school to volunteer, eat lunch with their children, or work on special projects at the request of the school’s staff. We welcome the community to be a part of the educational process.
