Named for Missouri author Laura Ingalls Wilder, Wilder Elementary School opened for students in 1964. Located in the southeast portion of the city, directly across the street from Glendale High School, one has an instant feeling of pride and warmth upon entering the building. Expansion of the facility in 1992 by adding new classrooms, a computer room, and a library reflect the continued growth of the area. Wilder has a proud tradition of dedicated staff members, energetic students, and active parent involvement. Over 3000 volunteer hours each year reflect the strong support and commitment of parents and community to the education of our students.
