Beloved Westborough educators live on in the names of the town’s elementary schools
WESTBOROUGH – While some of the town’s most beloved educators have been gone for decades, they live on in the elementary schools which bear their name. Opened in 1955 and located in the center of town on West Street, this elementary school was originally built to house Westborough’s burgeoning young students in the boom following the conclusion of WWII. The original building housed 12 classrooms of just 30 students each. With a working intercom system and an all-purpose gymnasium/cafeteria, the new hot lunch available at the school was very popular with the students. Starting in the 1970s, Armstrong was a school housing all of Westborough’s fifth graders until a large-scale renovation in 1998 helped the building function as a districted lower-level elementary school.
