| History of Greathouse/Shryock |
|
| Greathouse/Shryock Traditional Elementary School in Louisville, Kentucky has a strong history of academic excellence and success. Six locations served as sites from the years 1877 to the present as larger facilities were built to accommodate continuous growth in population and enrollment. |
|
| Our school was named after the Greathouse family who was prominent in the early history of our community. The move to our present location on Browns Lane in 1980 included merging with Gideon Shryock Elementary, named for the acclaimed Kentucky architect, Gideon Shryock. This final change in location and name coincided with the Jefferson County Board of Education’s decision to diversify educational opportunities in our community by creating optional programs. The traditional program was created to provide a structured climate for learning with an emphasis on patriotism and moral values. |
