Founded in 1928 on land donated by its namesake, school board chairman Jere Whitson, the school delivers comprehensive elementary education including core academics, special education (SPED), English as a Second Language (ESL), occupational therapy, counseling, library, music, and physical education, supplemented by LEAPS/21st Century Community Learning Centers extended learning programs.

The school also maintains a community adopter/supporter program with local churches, banks, and employers.
