Wallace-Gregg Elementary School is an elementary school with a rich history that spans over one-hundred years and is a pillar of the Florence community.   As a faculty and staff, we take pride in ensuring that every child at Wallace-Gregg is supported in their learning, with high expectations, differentiated instruction, and innovative practices. 

Strongly effective Tier I and Tier II interventions are still key at Wallace-Gregg and teacher-led small group instruction remains at the heart of our instructional model. Using data to make meaningful and impactful instructional decisions, a new leadership team is driven to support teachers in creating differentiated instruction and learning experiences for students with the skills they uniquely need to strengthen. 

Our students are the driving force of our school.  We make every effort to develop our students into life long learners and leaders.  Inspired by the philosophy, our inclusion of a behavior coach, a school-based therapist, and a school counselor on our leadership team establishes a clear value at Wallace-Gregg…that joyous children make joyous learners. We believe in educating the whole child and helping students not only learn core content standards, but social-emotional skills, such as self-regulation and de-escalation. 

Music is a vital part of our school and community's history and we look forward to honoring that tradition through a more robust, fine arts curriculum. Our school was awarded a grant to support the expansion of our music program. 

Wallace-Gregg Elementary unapologetically seeks to be a place where teachers love to teach, parents and guardians love to send their students, and where children always want to learn. With an increase in academic rigor, behavioral and instructional expectations, community outreach and partnerships, and staff devotion to our goals, our school will achieve our mission.
