Chestatee Elementary

Chestatee Elementary The OFFICIAL page of Chestatee ES, located in Gainesville, GA! Mr. S. M. Rosser was the first principal of the school.

Chestatee Elementary is named after the former Chestatee School, which opened in 1931 on five acres in north Forsyth County. The original Chestatee School was built with funds from both the Board of Education and the Chestatee community. In 1939, Crossroads, Hopewell and Pleasant Grove schools consolidated with Chestatee. The school received a gymnasium and cafeteria soon after that. In 1967, the

Chestatee High School was consolidated into the Forsyth County High School, now Forsyth Central High School. The school received numerous renovations in 1973, including classrooms, a library, office, and a modern cafeteria. Since that time, the school has had five renovations and improvements. Originally located near the Chestatee River, which is now a part of Lake Lanier, Chestatee is Indian for “fire hunters.”

Congratulations to our Staff Member of the Month, fifth grade teacher, Celeste Husted!

Students say she supports them no matter what. Parents say they love the way she gets kids to love learning. Colleagues say they love how she contributes to the team. We all appreciate her quick-witted humor and the way she connects with her students.

Mrs. Husted has requested we call her Madame Teacher of the Month for the next week. 😂 So congrats, Madame Teacher of the Month. We are grateful you teach at the T. ❤️

Happy Thursday from the T! It is hard to believe we have 6 days left of school.❤️
