About Us

Barnette Elementary School is located in Huntersville, North Carolina as part of the Elementary School Performance Area D Learning Community in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District. We presently serve around 800 students in pre-K through fifth grade and have about 100 staff members.

Our school is named in honor of B. Alexander Barnette, Sr., a life-long resident of Huntersville. His land ownership included a parcel that was granted from the King of England before the Revolutionary War. His lineage can be traced back to the locally historical Alexander and Davidson families. A Bear is our mascot with the noble characteristics of being strong, brave and independent. Our school colors are blue, red, and white.
