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).
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.
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.
Today Everett is one of only two public elementary schools in the state of Nebraska to offer a Montessori program.
