About Our SchoolThe school is named after Alben William Barkley, who was Vice President of the United States (1949-1953) under President Harry S. Truman. He was born in Graves County, KY on Nov. 24, 1877 and died suddenly while making a speech at Lexington, VA on April 30, 1956. The initial structure was completed in October 1955. The first expansion came in 1958. Over the years the school evolved from kindergarten-first classes to grade six. The present structure, last addition completed in 2003, houses children from ages three through grade five. The faculty and staff at Barkley live by the ABC’s of our vision. We believe that children require a sense of belonging and a spirit of community to become efficient learners. Our school promotes a caring environment coupled with high academic expectations. We believe in our students! At Barkley Elementary we believe…A thriving school:
