Mrs. Haskew views school construction in December, 2004
The Mobile County School Board
voted in 2004 to build a new school in southern Mobile County
to alleviate the overcrowded conditions at St. Elmo, Meadowlake,
and Nan Gray Davis Schools. Construction began in December,
2004 on the school, with the capacity to serve 600
students.
The School Board voted to name the
school "Pearl Haskew Elementary School" in honor of Pearl Golden
Haskew, a visionary teacher and leader in elementary and secondary
schools of Mobile County for 37 years.
After many long months, the school was declared FINISHED, and teachers and staff spent
their Spring Break getting everything
ready. On Monday, April 24, 2006, teachers and students at the three
different sites boarded thirteen school buses and
arrived together, excited and happy, to finally be
home!
