The older part of the present
day Austinburg Elementary building was constructed as
a high school and dedicated in 1938. Previous to that,
the area high school students attended Grand River Institute,
which is still across the street from Austinburg Elementary.
In l955, the primary wing was added to the school,
and students in grades K-12 attended under one roof.
When Austinburg consolidated with Geneva Schools in 1961,
the school became known as Austinburg Elementary, housing
students in grades K-6 only.
Austinburg
currently has approximately 345 students, including twelve
to fourteen students in our handicapped preschool program.
In 1998, an elevator was constructed in our building
to meet state guidelines for handicapped accessibility.
