School History:
Fairview Elementary School is located in Scott County, in the city
of Huntsville, Tennessee. The school opened in 1985. Fairview’s opening
combined the schools of Norma and Capitol Hill. In selecting the new school’s colors and
mascot, Capitol Hill selected red, white, and blue
while Norma selected the Rebels. Two additions have been added to
the school since it’s opening. In 1991, our first football team was formed
and was coached by Elmer Patrick.
Currently, Fairview is a preschool through eighth grade school
with an enrollment of approximately 450 students. In May 2000, the school
was awarded accreditation from the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools (S.A.C.S.). Our school was the first elementary school in
Scott County to be awarded this honor.
We have had five principals at Fairview School since our opening.
Our principals have been T.L. Lay, William (Ikey) Duncan, Joe Robbins,
Ken Davidson, and Linda Sharp. Our school board members have been
Mack Byrd, Beverly Washam, and Brian Strunk.
Two members of our staff passed away while employed at Fairview.
Those staff members were Nadine Meredith and Ann Boshears.
