Our Campus
The bulk of the current Fairview School building was completed in the fall of 1990. It replaced the original 1924 structure. In the early 2000s, 9 more classrooms and an addition to the Media Center were completed to accommodate growth in student numbers.  Most recently, our Blue Hall was renovated in 2018-19 to create new 1st and 2nd grade classrooms. Future plans include yet another addition.
