Byron Elementary School was originally housed in the old school complex located next to the Byron Municipal Building.  Students from grades first through eight were served there for many years.  Byron’s population was growing rapidly and the old school complex was no longer suitable, so a new Byron Elementary School was planned.  The new building was constructed in several stages beginning in 1980.  The first stage included the office, media center, cafeteria and seven classrooms.  Over the years, additions were made to accommodate a growing student population.  The last addition included the current fourth grade hall, the gymnatorium, and the music and art rooms.  Kindergarten through eighth graders attended Byron Elementary until the school was divided into Byron Elementary and Byron Middle School.  Middle school students were later moved to the newly constructed Byron Middle School.  Today Byron Elementary serves kindergarten through fifth grades.

Carl Martin served as the principal of Byron Elementary for 33 years.  He retired in 1988. Brett Thompson became Byron’s principal then, and he served for 15 years.   Dannelly Martin replaced him in 2006 and is still Byron’s principal today.
