HISTORICAL SKETCH

Waterford Elementary School opened at 15513 Loyalty Rd. in Waterford in 1965. A public elementary school, the building originally housed first through seventh grade students, but later shifted to have only pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and first through fifth grades. This building replaced the Old Waterford school building, built in 1910. The Old Waterford School building was damaged by fire in 2007. Although the auditorium, added in 1928 was lost, the original structure was saved as is used for exhibits, classes, and other community events by the Waterford Foundation.
