ELL – Elliott Elementary

The school was named for Miss Phoebe Elliott, a member of the Lincoln Board of Education at the time of the construction of the school. She served on the board from 1887 to 1890, and from 1892 to 1894. According to reports by Simon P. Benadom, a pioneer of early Lincoln, Phoebe Elliott was the first teacher of the first school in the county which was located one and a half miles north of Roca in a log house on a sand hill known as the “Old Sand Hill School.”
