History

Hamilton Crossing Elementary School educates approximately 675 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade, and is located in the historic Cassville area of central Bartow County.  A strong sense of heritage and pride are found at HCES.  Built in 1955 and opened as Cass Primary School, HCES has continued to be a site of change.  In 1968 the name was changed to Cass Elementary II.  Then in 1977, the school was again renamed Cass Primary, housing grades K-6.  In 1985, redistricting took place in the system and the school was named Hamilton Crossing Elementary School.  In 1989, the 6th grade students were moved to the middle school, leaving the present K-5 structure.
