The C.E. Curtis Elementary School was named in honor of Clarence E. Curtis Sr., former Chairman of Chesterfield County School Board. The original building was built in 1959 and was designed for 600 students, grades first through seventh. Curtis remained basically the same in appearance until the 1984 edition of a modern multi-media center and gym. During the 1989-1990 school year, renovation took place throughout the entire building to provide us with central air conditioning. Our two newest additions of eight new classrooms and an office complex were completed for the opening of the 2002-2003 school year. With this new addition, we now have a total of 44 classrooms, a large office complex, multimedia center, gymnasium, and cafetorium.

C.E. Curtis Elementary is committed to the mission of Chesterfield County Public Schools. We will partner with students, families and the Chester community to emphasize and support high levels of achievement through a global education for all. We will provide options and opportunities to meet the diverse needs and interests of individual students.

Chesterfield County Public Schools will provide an engaging and relevant education that prepares every student to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
