About Our School
-
Hemby Bridge Elementary serves kindergarten through fifth-grade students and is located in Indian Trail. Although the building has been modified to suit individual classrooms, the school's 1975 open-concept design continues to generate a strong community among students and staff. STEAM opportunities are embedded into instruction, special area classes and clubs during the school day. Our teachers are trained in the Orton-Gillingham Approach, a multi-sensory process to teach literacy, which is integrated into reading, writing and spelling instruction for all students.
