- Williams Traditional Magnet Elementary School
Williams Traditional Magnet Elementary School is an elementary school in the Little Rock School District in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Opened in 1958, it has the unique distinction of being named in honor of three different men, all of whom served on the Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District: J.E. Williams, a member of the Board from 1900 to 1903; Nal Williams, a member of the Board from 1904 to 1905; and Robert M. Williams, a member of the Board from 1939 to 1945.
Williams received building additions in 1964, 1966, 1986 and 1994. A new classroom wing opened in 2004. Williams became a magnet school in 1982 and expanded to a tri-district magnet school in 1986. Williams' magnet theme stresses the basic educational skills: reading, writing and arithmetic.
