Everett Elementary School is a part of Lincoln Public Schools in Lincoln, Nebraska. It is located at the corner of 11th and C streets. Everett is a pre-K-5 school with approximately 450 students. Until the early 1990s, Everett was a Junior High School. After it was renovated, it switched places with Park Elementary (which then became Park Middle School).
[edit] History
Everett Junior High School opened in 1928. At that point, Lincoln Public Schools had a total of about 13,000 students. The original structure, which was built for a cost $314,507, was to accommodate 600 junior high students. The school was named for Edward Everett, an American statesman, orator, and scholar who lived from 1794-1865. Everett was a U.S. Congressman, Governor of Massachusetts, a U.S. Senator, Minister to England, President of Harvard University and a candidate for President.
Before the junior high school facility was constructed, an elementary school was built in the late 1800s at the corner of 12th and C streets. In 1991 the building went through an addition, renovation, and restoration costing approximately five million dollars, returning the site to an elementary school location.
[edit] Currently
Some languages spoken at Everett include English, Vietnamese, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Serbo-Croat, Bosnian, Kyrgyz, Ogoni, Dinka, and French. Approximately 65% of Everett's students are minority students.
