Helen Keller Elementary is one of three elementary schools that was rebuilt from a 2006 modernization bond. Grade reconfiguration took effect this year with elementary: K-5, middle school: 6-8 and high school: 9-12.

The grand opening for the other elementary schools, Muir Elementary and Sandburg Elementary, will be at later dates.
