The Wattsburg Area Elementary Center officially opened its doors on January 28, 1997. The new elementary center brought together the children and staffs of Central Elementary, Greene Elementary, and Greenfield Elementary. Each child and adult who opened the school has a signed handprint on one of the decorative tiles that line the main hallways of the building. Wattsburg Area Elementary Center combines state of the art technology resources, flexible spaces for small and large group instruction, a full-sized gymnasium, auditorium, and outdoor classroom spaces.
