Save Spalding Drive Elementary is a community-driven initiative dedicated to preventing the closure of Spalding Drive Elementary School. Located in the heart of our neighborhood, this school has been a beacon of academic excellence and community engagement for decades. With its smaller class sizes, personalized learning environments, and a longstanding tradition of high achievement, Spalding Drive offers students the foundation they need to succeed academically and socially. 

However, the Fulton County School Board is considering closing this essential institution, citing temporary declines in enrollment. We believe that the closure of Spalding Drive would be a short-sighted decision with long-term consequences for our children, property values, and the neighborhood as a whole. In addition to its educational significance, Spalding Drive is one of the earliest buildings designed by the renowned architect John G. Portman, making it a valuable part of Atlanta’s architectural heritage. Our mission is simple: to rally together as a community to keep Spalding Drive Elementary open. Through advocacy, outreach, and education, we are committed to demonstrating the importance of this school to the School Board, local officials, and families across the district. We believe that with your support, we can ensure that future generations of students benefit from the same high-quality education that Spalding Drive has provided for decades.
