SCHOOL SUMMARY:
Garden City Elementary opened in 1996 at a cost of about $10.2 million. Plans for the 87,658-square-foot school were based on the same ones used to build Georgetown Elementary School in Savannah, making it similar in appearance.
The school, located off Kessler Avenue, was built to replace the aging Sprague and Haynes elementary schools, which were both more than 33 years old. Nestled in residential areas off Ga. 21, neither of the two schools had physical education buildings, art or music rooms or places for school assemblies.
Before busing started in the early 1970s, Sprague was Garden City's white elementary school while Haynes was all black. During initial desegregation years, all students attended grades 1-4 at Sprague, then fifth and sixth at Haynes.
