Summerlin welcomes fifth elementary school

Youngsters enjoyed the new playground on opening day at E.W. Staton Elementary School, located within The Arbors village in the Summerlin master-planned community. The school's 500-plus pupils moved into the newly completed building last week after holding classes in portables since beginning the 2000-2001 school year in August.

Staton is the community's fifth public elementary school and is one of 16 public and private schools in the community.

Developed by The Howard Hughes Corp., Summerlin has ranked as the nation's best-selling master-planned community for eight of the past nine years, according to an independent survey by Robert Charles Lesser & Co.
