Background

The Hilburn Drive Elementary School complex was first used for one year by Jeffrey's Grove Elementary School to house their students while reconstruction was taking place on their campus. The next year, in 1995, due to over-crowding at Leesville Road Elementary School, the Kindergarten through Third Grade student population was moved from Leesville Road Elementary to Hilburn, and Hilburn Drive Elementary School was established as Kindergarten through Third grade school. The fourth and fifth graders remained at Leesville. During the 1999-2000 school year, Hilburn was converted into a Kindergarten through fifth grade school and was assigned its own student base population. With 33 K-5 homeroom classrooms and almost 800 students in the 2006-07 school year, Hilburn has continued to grow with our community.
