What Makes Our School Unique?
Warner Enhanced Option School is a place where children and learning are loved. Warner School has a rich history of serving children in East Nashville for more than one hundred years. It sits in the middle of Historic Edgefield facing East Park, just a few blocks from the home of the Tennessee Titans.
Warner School was built in 1892 to replace the old Main Street School. It was named for James C. Warner who had been a member of the Edgefield Board of Education before Edgefield was annexed into Nashville in 1840.The original building was destroyed by the great fire of March 1916, which consumed more than 700 buildings in East Nashville. Our present building was opened in 1918. It was partially destroyed by another fire in 1941 and sustained damage in 1998 when it was hit by a tornado.
Our school has a dedicated staff who requested to be placed at Warner. Earlier through the Reading Excellence Act and now with the Reading First Grant, our teachers have received staff development and materials to help us be able to help our children make the progress they need to make in reading.
