Daniel Wertz Elementary School

Daniel Wertz Elementary School Welcome to the Daniel Wertz Elementary page. We are proud of our students, families and community! Daniel Wertz is a Pre- K through 5 school.

We look forward to sharing information about our school including upcoming events, important announcements, pictures and much more! Daniel Wertz is located on the Westside of Evansville. Our school has a rich history and strong bond to the Howell Community. Prominently displayed in the main hallway are memorabilia and class pictures (dating to 1944) that tell the story of Daniel Wertz School. In t

hose photos many faces past and present represent the multi-generations of students who have attended Daniel Wertz and speak to the pride and stability of our neighborhood school. Our students feed into Perry Heights Middle School, progressing on to Reitz High School-home of the mighty panthers! Daniel Wertz also houses Little Panther World, an early childhood education center.

🎉 Congratulations to our Staff Member of the Month, Ms. Basham! 🎉

Ms. Basham has been remarkable this year, especially as a first-year teacher stepping into a brand-new role just days before students arrived. She embraced the challenge with humility, grace, positivity, and a willingness to learn from day one.

She is the kind of teacher who asks questions, tries new things, welcomes feedback, and makes adjustments to give her students exactly what they need. Her hard work in building strong classroom routines and expectations is already paying off as her first graders learn to stay focused, respond appropriately, and take ownership of their classroom.

Ms. Basham is here early each morning, ready to work and ready to grow. She handles the unexpected with patience and determination, jumps in wherever she is needed, and continues to bring an uplifting presence to our school each day.

Most importantly, her students absolutely adore her—and that speaks volumes about the kindness, patience, and care she shows them.

We are so proud of Ms. Basham and so lucky to have her growing alongside our Eagles at Daniel Wertz! 🦅❤️ Help us show her some love below!

🦅❤️ ATTENTION, DANIEL WERTZ ALUMNI! ❤️🦅

We need your help! We have BIG plans for our Wall of Photos, and we need our Daniel Wertz alumni to help us fill in a few missing pieces of our history. 📸

We are currently missing 5th grade class photos from the following years:

📌 1941–1944
📌 1974–1979
📌 2021
📌 2023

If you have a photo of the graduating 5th OR 8th grade class from ANY of these years, we would absolutely love to borrow it!

Our plan is to have an 8x10 copy made for our Wall of Fame and return the original photo safely back to you. ❤️

We have HUGE dreams for this wall, and we cannot wait to share the finished product with our students, families, staff, and alumni! We want it to celebrate the incredible history of Daniel Wertz and make it easy for visitors to find the class photo they’re looking for.

The attached photo is a visual dream of what we're envisioning. It won't look exactly like this, but it gives you an idea of how the photos will be organized.

If you have one of these missing photos—or know someone who might—please help us spread the word! Share this post, tag your classmates, and help us fill in the gaps in our Eagle history! 🦅❤️🖤

Once an Eagle, always an Eagle! ❤️
