James Y. Joyner was superintendent of Public Instruction around the turn of the 20th century and fought for the public school system. Our school was named after him for his varied accomplishments. Built in 1955, Joyner had to have some welcome renovations. In 1993, a 7,000 foot addition was made, creating a larger media center, conference room and computer lab. In 1999, we received air conditioning! Joyner has had a varied history. We opened in 1955 housing 1st-6th grade. In the 1970's Joyner was changed to a 5th-6th grade Junior High School but changed in 1984 to Elementary K-5 curriculum.

Joyner Elementary is a small sized school that allows students and staff members to form a nurturing learning community. Our Positive Behavior Support Intervention (PBIS) program sets the standards for forming positive, respectful relationships between adults and students.  Students have many adult mentors in the building that encourage them to be their best in all areas.
