Kingston City School District - Students Are Our Most Valuable Asset

Ernest C. Myer Elementary School

Message from the Principal

Ernest C. Myer School started as the "Hurley School." It was renamed after Ernest Christian Myer who had served from September, 1942 to June, 1973 as teacher/principal.

The Hurley School/Ernest C. Myer School was erected in 1939. Since then, it has grown with two additions. In the 1953-54 school year, it became part of the Kingston City School District Consolidated.
