Nelson Elementary History & Facts -  from the book "50 Unified Years: Building a Tradition of Excellence in Clovis Unified Before, During, and After Unification"

Chester A. Nelson Elementary School opened to students for the 1957-58 school year.

Nelson shares an unique feature with its surrounding community, pride and love of local neighborhoods. Many parents now sending their children to the school are second or third generation residents, many of whom attended Nelson Elementary as children themselves and went on to purchase heir parent's houses. These families have truly found a home in their neighborhood school and in the community.

With school colors of forest green and gold, the school also promotes student pride with the acronym "BEEP", which represents: best school, Exemplary, Extraordinary, and Perseverance. It's no coincidence that BEEP is also the signature sound of the school's mascot, the Roadrunner.
