About Our School

South Toe Elementary opened October 19, 1952 and is located beneath the Black Mountain range near the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mt. Mitchell State Park.  The school is a part of the Yancey County school system and serves grades K-5 with an enrollment of about 112 students.

Out community is rich in mountain arts and crafts such as quilting, gardening, basket making, glass blowing, weaving, woodcarving, and pottery.  Through the dedication of volunteers numerous services are available in our community.  These volunteer programs include firefighting, emergency medical responding, and volunteering in the school.

Our enrollment includes local students and others who have moved from other parts of the U.S. and from other countries.  They and their families enjoy the life here in the South Toe Valley.
