About Our School
Eberwhite Elementary School is located near the heart of Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the Old West Side. Our school grounds are bordered by the Eberwhite Woods, which is a beloved forested area, filled with mature trees, wildflowers and interesting wildlife.
The Eberwhite community has deep roots in the beginnings of Ann Arbor. Our namesake, Eber White, was one of the first settlers of our city. Eber White came to Ann Arbor in 1824, just three months after Allen and Rumsey, founders of Ann Arbor, had staked out the city. He bought a quarter section of land on the outskirts of the city between what is now Seventh Street and Dartmoor on both sides of Liberty Road. Eber White and his wife Polly had six children, one of whom married Dr. William Soule, whose name was taken for the street on which Eberwhite School would be built more than 100 years later.
At Eberwhite, we are committed to developing within each student the joy of lifelong learning through academic preparation, building positive self-esteem, and developing social responsibility. We value diversity and inclusion, and in partnership with our parents and community, strive to ensure that each student is, and feels, valued while developing their leadership skills.
