It was built in 1959, with an addition that was finished in 1966. It is located across a quiet street from a city park and is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The facility is truly a part of the community it serves and continues to enrich the lives of its students. An example of this was the fulfillment of a faculty vision, an outdoor classroom, where children are exposed to gardening, plant biomes, physical science, animal science, and weather. Wheeler Elementary School focuses on the basics, but equally invites the innovative.
Patrons are always welcome, and an open-door policy and attitude permeates the faculty and school.
Children enjoy learning at Wheeler and the parents feel that a safe atmosphere envelopes the classroom, school, and surrounding area.
