Welcome to Mount Gallant Elementary School
Located on 28 acres in beautiful, western ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵ Hill, Mount Gallant Elementary was built in 1977. At the time of its construction, the population in ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵ Hill was booming. MGES , along with Independence Elementary, was built to ease the growth that the district was experiencing. Mount Gallant Elementary was named for Mount Gallant Road, which is a main artery that connects eastern and western ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵ Hill. The school first served students through sixth grade. Building additions were added in 1981 and 1983 to accommodate a student enrollment that peaked over 700. In 1991, sixth graders were moved as a result of the changes the district made to move to the middle school concept. Currently, Mount Gallant Elementary serves a school population close to five hundred in grades kindergarten through five.
