Hoover Elementary School will host an open house celebrating the legacy of the school on Thursday, May 22, from 5:30-7 p.m. The community is invited to attend. Hoover will close at the conclusion of the school year. At the open house, school staff will be on hand and self-guided tours will be available.
During the 1965-1966 school year, a purchase agreement was signed for land to build a new elementary school. This site would eventually become Hoover Elementary School, which was dedicated in 1968 at its current location on St. Anne Drive in Dubuque. The school was named after Herbert Hoover, 31st president of the United States, who was born in West Branch, Iowa.
At the time, the unique structure of the building was recognized for its innovative design in which classrooms were situated in clusters with a shared learning center in the middle. Initially an open-concept facility, it had few permanent walls and doors.
During the 2025-2026, the Hoover Elementary School site will serve third- and fourth-grade students from Irving Elementary School, who will relocate to that site for the year while Irving is under construction to receive a new HVAC system including full air conditioning.
Every five years, the Dubuque Community School District updates its Special Education Service Delivery Plan, which outlines how the district implements services for students eligible for an Individualized Education Program (IEP).

The Dubuque Community School District will host two upcoming community information sessions for those interested in learning more about the district’s facility planning work.
The sessions will be held on Wednesday, April 16, and Monday, April 28, at 6 p.m. at the district offices, 2300 Chaney Road.
The meeting will feature a recap the district’s facility planning work, led by INVISION Architecture and informed by a community facility planning taskforce. The session will recap the taskforce’s work to review previous and new facility efficiency scenarios, look at results of a community survey regarding facility planning, and discuss potential funding mechanisms to support any future projects.
In particular, the planning team has reviewed and updated options for middle school consolidation to move the district from three to two middle schools. This consolidation was previously and continues to be identified as the option creating the greatest financial efficiencies while ensuring equivalent middle school facilities for all students.
