Daves Creek Elementary
Daves Creek Elementary opened in 1996, but the building was
not occupied by students until January, 1997. Ms. Marian Hicks was the first
principal and the school was built to accommodate the overcrowding at Mashburn
and Big Creek elementary schools. Daves Creek Elementary is named after the
former Daves Creek School, which was named for the Daves Creek Mill. The grist mill
exists today but is not active. Adjacent to the school campus is Joint Venture
Park. The park opened in 2006 and is a partnership between the Forsyth County
Board of Education and the Forsyth County Commissioners.
