About our school
Hernando Elementary School is beginning its thirty-seventh year. It is a pre-kindergarten through fifth grade elementary school. The campus sits on thirty-five beautifully wooded acres. The original Hernando Elementary School was built in 1939 and is located in the town of Hernando. Hernando students attended school at that site until 1983 when the present building opened its doors. The original school is now a historical landmark.

We must come from the perspective that asks, "What is best for our students?"
