Western Avenue School, a K-5 school on Geneva's southwest side, was constructed in 1964. Principal Ron Zeman says Western Avenue is a neighborhood school in the truest and best sense. Many students are second-generation attendees and many of Western Avenue's experienced teachers live within walking distance.
The school promotes community service, with each grade taking on a special project every year. With the completion of Fabyan Elementary School in 2008-09, WAS went from crowded to right size. New playground equipment is part of a pretty, functional 14-acre campus.
