History

Chandler Creek is a kindergarten (four and five year olds) through fifth grade, public elementary school located in the former Greer Middle School facility.  In 1999-2000, the former Greer Middle School was renovated and expanded for its future use as an elementary school.  The renovated school contains 122,703 square feet and is designed for a capacity of 1,000 students.  The facility includes forty regular classrooms, ten kindergarten classrooms, two self-contained classrooms for special education, five resource/speech rooms, a computer lab with thirty stations, science lab, media center, theatre, a full size gymnasium with bleachers, art room complete with a kiln and two rooms for itinerant teachers. Highlights of the school include a kindergarten area, a teacher conference/planning space, six portable laptop labs, three playgrounds, covered walkways, and landscaped gardens.

Mrs. Katherine Bayne was named principal of the school during the 1999-2000school year. The student bodies of East Greer Elementary and Tyron Street Elementary, both of which would close and move to the new school, voted for the name of the school to be Chandler Creek Elementary School which comes from combining the location of our school on Chandler Road and nearby Frohawk Creek. The choices for school mascot were the Chandler Creek Champions or Chandler Creek Crocodiles. Students scheduled to attend the school voted on a mascot and school colors, deciding on the Chandler Creek Champions and school colors of purple and yellow. Our school motto is “Creating Champions Committed to Excellence!"

In August, 1999 we welcomed 630 students to their new school to begin a new tradition of excellence. Today our school has approximately 925 students and a staff of 95
