The 64,000-square-foot elementary school was designed to replace the original elementary school, which was more than 60 years old. To retain the historical significance of the original facility, memorabilia are preserved and showcased in the G.D. Jones Elementary School Museum, located just inside the entrance to the school. In addition, three stone arches from entrances to the original school are located along a two-story wall in the school's IMC.

Located on the same 7.3-acre site as the original school, the three-section facility accommodates 450 K-6 students. Its two-story design allows ample room for outdoor recreational space for students and the community.

"My first experience working with SDS was to put a needs assessment together for District building needs for a referendum. The referenbum amount was for $65 million and encompassed two new schools and additions and remodeling to five existing schools. SDS Architects planning provided for an aggressive time schedule, which all projects met the schedule and all came in under budget. They were always willing to listen and investigate items to make sure they were meeting the Districts needs and wants and worked diligently to keep those changes within budget."
