Chattahoochee Elementary School: A New School, A New Building, A New Concept When the school year 1970-71 began, a great change confronted the citizens of Chattahoochee and the surrounding areas; all schools were fully integrated. Southside School was open for grades one through three, and Chattahoochee High School was composed of grades four through twelve. Im- mediately, it was determined that there was a need for a new elementary school; therefore, when school began in August 1972, a new physical plant was ready. This facility was equipped to accommodate grades kindergarten through six. Activities and events include the following: Introduction of the “Pod” Concept.. . steady increase in enrollment of students and staff . . . Art and music added to cur- riculum — art dropped upon removal of state funds . . . Addition of guidance and helping teacher . . . Student Council organized . . . portable added to house physical education ... State Assessment test .. . County Criterion Reference Test . . . roof con- tinually leaking .. . implementation of Good Citizen program . .. formation of Advisory Committee . .. Above: New Chattahoochee Elementary School is located at the comer of Maple Street and Highway 90 E. 12 lntroduction
