[edit] History

Walter Moberly Elementary School was first constructed in 1912 at its current site at Ross Street and East 59th Avenue. The school was named for Walter Moberly, an engineer and surveyor.

In 1945, the school burned down. It was rebuilt the following year in 1946. An addition of a second gymnasium, 10 classrooms and offices was added to the west side of Moberly in 1999.
