The Town of Oakhurst was annexed into the City of Decatur in 1915. That same year, the city began building a new elementary school to house the children of the Oakhurst community. Oakhurst Elementary boasted nine classrooms and an auditorium. The staff consisted of the principal, Miss Mamie Barnes, and six teachers.
As the population of the school grew, four additional classrooms were added in 1928. Seventy-three years later, Oakhurst Elementary underwent a major renovation. The interior of the building was updated to a modern showcase housing state of the art technology, while the exterior retained its 20th historical charm.
