Shiloh Elementary (Union County, NC) - (704) 296-3035

This is the official Facebook presence for Shiloh Elementary, which is part of the Union County (NC) Public Schools and serves approximately 620 students in grades PK-5.

The first Shiloh School was built in approximately 1917. It was a one-room building heated by a large fireplace. Approximately eighty students attended school there. The older students would cut wood each morning before starting their studies.

Nearly a century later, Shiloh Elementary continues to flourish. Over the years, four new schools were constructed as Shiloh Elementary grew and relocated. In 1992, the current home site of Shiloh Elementary was built on Rogers Road.

Shiloh reached its peak enrollment of 1,264 students during the 2007-2008 school year. The following year, a new elementary school was built and enrollment was cut in half.

As Shiloh moves further into the 21st century, all of the classrooms are equipped with Promethean boards/Short throw projectors, laptops and laptop carts are available for classes/students to use, and students converse with peers from various countries via the internet.

Shiloh is proud to have been designated a US National Blue Ribbon School by the US Department of Education in 1999 and in 2013. The school has also won an extensive list of state awards for academic excellence over the past two decades.

Shiloh continues to embrace an increasingly diverse community as our school is represented with students and staff from at least 16 different countries. Shiloh proudly embraces global education and currently hosts three Spanish immersion classes. Shiloh’s parents and stakeholders continue to play a crucial role in the progress and success of Shiloh Elementary. The administration, teachers, teacher assistants, and all staff work together to maintain our high expectations for all students. To this day, Shiloh lives up to its motto of “Making our mark, one child at a time.”
