About Our School:

Elizabeth Traditional Elementary is a public CMS school that was established as one of Charlotte's first elementary schools in 1912. The school's building structures, name, and curriculum have been altered over the years to meet the various demands of a diverse and ever-shifting population. 

 

One quality of the school and its staff has remained constant: our commitment to a solid educational foundation for all students. We have an active partnership with Central Piedmont Community College, the Augustine Project, Heart Math, UNCC and local businesses in the Elizabeth community. We offer a variety of learning and leadership opportunities during the school day and through our before and after-school activities, including various sports activities and community-based programs.

 

ETES implements the Leader in Me program and achieved Lighthouse Status during the 2020-2021 school year, meaning our school earned the highest level of program implementation. Click here to learn more about Lighthouse Certification.
