2025-26 Consolidation

As part of the 2025-26 consolidation plan, students who have been at the Montclair Elementary campus on Broadmoor Drive will attend school at the Heather Glen Elementary campus at 5119 Heather Glen Drive. The Heather Glen building will be renamed Heather Glen Montclair Elementary School and will function as a single school with students from both locations. The location change is temporary while a new combined campus for Montclair and Heather Glen is being built as part of the 2023 Bond program.

Heather Glen history

Heather Glen Elementary School opened in 1971 and was named after the street, Heather Glen Drive. Our first principal was Angus E. Cody. He retired in 1980. In 1971, the school started with grades 1-6. There were 16 faculty members and office staff, 1 custodian, 5 cafeteria staff and about 250-300 students.

Outstanding students have passed through this school. We even had a child actor come through our doors in the 1990’s. He was famous for his Welch’s Grape Juice commercials and very popular with his peers as he played “Spanky” in The Little Rascals (1994).

Our school is proud to have a beautiful outdoor classroom. We have been fortunate to partner with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to create a living learning center for our students to learn from and enjoy.

Montclair History

Montclair, when opened in September 1968 had seven teachers, including Dr. James Delmar who was a teacher-principal. Within one week another teacher was added, and at the end of the year a ninth. Just under 200 students in grades 1-6 were enrolled when the school opened, and 261 were attending by the end of the school year. The first PTA meeting took place on September 19th with a total of 26 members.

Montclair has grown not only in size but in school spirit over the years.  Montclair strives to add pride in every child, every day.
