About J. Milton Lewis Elementary

J. Milton Lewis Elementary School opened its doors on August 26, 1986 with 392 students in grades K-5. Two years later, enrollment had grown to 834. Mr. J. Milton Lewis, for whom the school is named, was a dedicated educator for more than 47 years. His career began in 1927 at Griffin High School. Mr. Lewis' career then took him to Florida in 1936 and back to Georgia in 1952. When the Cobb County School System needed leadership, Mr. Lewis stepped in to fill administrative roles asked of him including his last position as superintendent before he retired in 1973. Mr. Lewis was most likely remembered for his decision-making skills, calm and steady approach, and how he achieved the personal touch in education by always keeping the lines of communication open between the school system and the students, parents and teachers.

Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes academic, emotional, and social growth.
