About Hanby Elementary

Hanby Elementary opened in 1923 as Westerville High School. It has served as a high school, middle school, elementary school and at one point, administrative offices. Today, Hanby is home to Math/Science and Arts magnet programs, as well as the district's self-contained gifted program. Starting with the 2023-2024 school year, the school's magnet program will unify, transitioning to a STEAM focus for grades 1-5.
