Before it was known as the Ward School, this was Batesville’s East Side Grade School.

The building sits on one of Batesville’s oldest school sites and served generations of local children. It was later named for Flossie Ward, the school’s first teacher.

Today, the historic building is being restored and given a new purpose.

Were you—or someone in your family—a Ward School student? What do you remember?
