Goodbye Old Ely

After a century of service to the students of Elyria Schools, Ely Elementary School is closing its doors to make way for a new K-4 elementary school. Historic Ely Elementary School was built in 1921 and closed in May 2020. The 2019-2020 school year was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The district--unable to offer public tours of the historic building before its closure--offers this virtual walkthrough and historic perspective.
