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.

📚🚶‍♂️ Walk to Learn = Learning + Fun! 🎉🎲

Today, our students took a learning adventure as they walked to different rooms to sharpen their skills for ACAP testing! 🏃‍♀️💡 They tackled area & perimeter, explored shades of meaning, crafted strong argument essays, and reviewed phonics skills—all while working in groups, playing games, and having a blast! 🏆✏️📖

Learning is always more fun when we do it together! We can’t wait for another exciting day of review tomorrow! Who’s ready?! 🙌🎯
