Welcome to our school. Anniston Avenue Elementary School is beginning its fifth decade of educating the youth of east Gulfport. Anniston Elementary School's district lines make up the old communities of Handsboro and Mississippi City. A community rich in tradition, our parents and community leaders look to Anniston Elementary as a leader in education. Under the leadership of 6 principals over the last 40 years, Anniston maintains a quality educational environment with test scores that are consistently above the national average.

With leadership from the Anniston PTA, our school sponsors many events that help students understand their community, their state, their nation, and their world. The local PTA sponsors an Open House in August and a Celebration for Education each February. Together, parents, teachers, and community leaders rear the children of Anniston Elementary School to be life-long learners and responsible members of society.
