Claxton Elementary School is a historic building built in 1924 and was named in honor of Dr. Philander Priestly Claxton, who was a crusader of public education and former superintendent in Western North Carolina. The school was renovated in 2004; improvements included a new cafeteria and a K-1 wing. The large classrooms are filled with natural light. Student artwork adorns the walls in the colorful hallways.
