what school did elvis attend
1941: Elvis starts school Elvis started elementary school at the East Tupelo Consolidated School on Lake Street. He was termed âsweet and averageâ by his teacher. His mother walked him the half mile to school each day. He got his first guitar lesson from Frank Smith, the new young pastor at the church they attended, and apparently Elvis took to these lessons more than he did those at school. A photograph taken in 1942 when he was seven shows Elvis and his parents looking straight into the camera, not posing or smiling, but rather looking with pride toward the photographer.
