The first day of school for students is Wednesday, August 12. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school and having an awesome school year.

Catawba Heights Elementary is a neighborhood school with deep community roots. With small class sizes and strong partnerships with local churches and organizations, we create a supportive learning environment where students thrive. Our students continue to meet and exceed expectations on math and reading End-of-Grade tests, showing strong academic growth year after year.

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually.
