Westergard Elementary School

Success and Acceptance for Everyone

About Us

George Westergard Elementary School was established in 1989 in Northwest Reno, Nevada. Our school is situated on a hill with beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada and Peavine Mountains. The school is named for George Westergard, a wonderful man who touched many lives during his 30 years as an educator and principal.

Our goal at Westergard is to provide a safe learning environment conducive to meeting the academic, social, physical and emotional needs of every child. Our staff is dedicated to providing a positive and supportive learning environment where every student can succeed.

Westergard serves students from Kindergarten through 5th grade. Effective since 2007-2008 school year, 6th graders attend Billinghurst Middle School. Our school’s mascot is the Westergard Wildcat and the school colors are blue and white.
