For more than 150 years, children from the Bill Arp Community have attended Bill Arp School. The original Bill Arp School was located behind Prays Mill Church. In the early 1900's, Bill Arp School moved to Highway 5 and remained at that location until the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year. Bill Arp students now attend a spacious, two-story building located just before Alexander High School on Alexander Parkway. The new school is complete with the latest technology and serves approximately 600 students from kindergarten through fifth grade. The Bill Arp mascot is a Patriot and the school colors are red, white and blue.
