New Gilbert school name proposed

Posted

In the early 1900s, Centerville School was opened near the town of Gilbert. 

It began as a 1-teacher school. 

Within a few years, a more modern 2-teacher school was built. 

In 2000, the original 2-room school became a home. 

Available maps and documents still refer to this as the Centerville area.

Lexington District 1 administration is excited about honoring the history of education in Gilbert by naming a new school Centerville Elementary School.

The new school is scheduled for construction at US 1 and Rice Drive in Gilbert.

The district chooses names with historical significance for schools using feedback from parents, community members and students/\.

Board members will consider the recommendation and welcome public feedback. You can contact board membersat http://www.lexington1.net/about/school-board/members
