BUILDING INFORMATION
Turner Elementary School is located in the heart of the Turner school district between Turner High School and Turner Middle school. Turner Elementary serves approximately 650 students in Preschool through 5th grade. Our campus is adjacent to Pierson Park and is the former Pierson Junior High School. When the new Turner High School was opened, the former Turner High building became Turner Middle School, the Pierson campus was remodeled for elementary students, and Turner Elementary was relocated from what is now recognized at the Turner Recreation Center.
With a full contingent of highly professional certified and classified staff, we are working together to ensure our students get the best educational opportunities available. Turner Elementary is a great place to learn and grow!
