Our school has a long and proud tradition of service to the Aberdeen community. Simmons Elementary was erected in 1955. A million dollar addition was constructed in 1989 that provided a state of the art media library center, two computer labs, music and art rooms. In 2011, Simmons expanded again by adding a new gym, computer center, four classrooms, special education service rooms, and an updated playground.
