SCHOOL HISTORY
Opened in the fall of 1946, Tillman Elementary School was named in honor of Frank P. Tillman, Kirkwood Superintendent of Schools from 1924-47. The west end of the building is the original structure, which expanded with middle and east sections added in 1951. A gymnasium was built in 1964. In 1987, a three-floor classroom addition was added to the back of the building, making it the largest elementary school building in the district. Six new classrooms in a one-floor addition were built in 1993. Renovations resulting from a bond issue in 1993 included a new gymnasium, renovation of the old gym into a cafeteria/auditorium, technology infrastructure, air conditioning, ADA compliance, and interior upgrades.
In 2005, the community approved Proposition I, a two-part bond initiative that provided funds for improvements and infrastructure repairs throughout the district as well as funds to complete the district’s master facilities plan. Prop I improvements at Tillman include new domestic/fire mains, new fire alarm system, replacement of restroom pipes, tuck pointing, exterior door replacements and asphalt sealing.
