Margaret Leary Elementary School
Margaret Leary Elementary School was constructed in 1973 when the “open-concept” philosophy dominated the educational world. Its original architectural design had large open spaces with moveable dividers. Over the years, Margaret Leary’s interior design evolved to a more traditional school with individual classrooms.
The school was named in honor of Margaret Leary, an icon in the Butte School District, starting as a stenographer in 1925, and retiring as the Financial Clerk in 1973. Her dedication, work ethic, and passion to education and the Butte School District remains the benchmark for “excellence.”
