In September, 1996, the new Gretna Elementary School was opened. The
new school was composed of the staff and students from Climax
Elementary, as well as the staff and students from the old Gretna
Elementary School. With the new school being only ninety-five percent
complete, the faculty was asked to report and to bring with them an
eagerness and determination that would make the first day of school in
the new school a success.
With the opening of the new school under the leadership of Mr. Reuben
O. Doss, Jr., Principal and Mr. Theodore R. Jones, Jr., Assistant
Principal, there were many obstacles to overcome, many changes to
implement, and the task of bringing together two entirely different
communities. Although the encounters of opening a new school were
numerous, the administration, staff, students and parents banded
together and the end result was a productive school year
