Gwin Elementary School

Gwin Elementary School We are a K-5 elementary school in Hoover, Alabama. Harriette W. It had sixteen classrooms for grades one through seven.

Gwin Elementary School, named for a Jefferson County Board of Education member, opened in January 1976. In 1992, an addition doubled the size of the school and in 2000 the front of the building was remodeled. We currently have an approximate enrollment of 600 students. In addition to offering state and district curriculum, we encourage students to explore their interest through clubs and organizat

ions. These clubs offer hands on experiences for all students including Gwin Ovations Choir, Garden Club, Dance Club, and opportunities to explore other cultures.

Today our 5th graders took their final walk through the halls of Gwin, proudly showing whether they’ve been here for 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or even just 1 special year. 💙 Each number tells a story filled with friendships, memories, growth, and so many moments that made Gwin feel like home.

Now it’s time to trade school days for sunshine, sleeping in, pool days, and summer adventures! ☀️🎉 We are so proud of this incredible group and can’t wait to see all they accomplish in middle school.

Goodbye, Gwin… hello, summer! 🌴📚✌️

Last Time. ♥️💙🦅
From first-day nerves to fifth-grade memories, this class has grown in so many ways. As they took their final walk through the halls, there were smiles, hugs, cheers, and maybe a few tears.
Elementary school may be ending, but their next adventure is just beginning. Middle school, here they come! ✨📚

🎤🎸🎶TALENT SHOW🥁🩰🎹

It's amazing how one little elementary school can hold so much talent! This is just a small look into the full show, but these talented individuals performed for students from all grade levels plus parents and teachers! We are so proud of every student who participated! 👏🏼

This event wouldn't be possible without the leadership of Gwin's music teacher, Ms. Russell, as well as the support of the PE & Specials teachers.

Bonus: If you haven't seen dinosaurs perform in a talent show, here's your chance! 🦖

🎬⭐ Lights, Camera, Action! 🍿🎥

Our 4th Grade Enrichment students had their very own Hollywood moment as they walked the red carpet at their Stop Motion Movie Premiere! Parents joined us to celebrate the creativity, teamwork, and hard work that went into each student-created film. Students wrote original scripts, designed sets, filmed scenes, edited footage, and added sound effects to bring their ideas to life. These young filmmakers truly impressed us with their imagination, dedication, and confidence on their big premiere day!
