Suncrest Elementary School opened for summer school in June 1996. It combined students from Lincoln Elementary and Woodside Elementary, which were closed, and some students from South Side Elementary through a school corporation redistricting program.

The front hallway displays the Woodside cornerstone and the Lincoln eagle. The facility is beautiful and includes many state-of-the art components, including: a fiber-optic computer network, four or more student computers in each classroom, a multi-media teacher computer station connected to a 31-inch video monitor, air-conditioning, small-group instruction areas in each wing, a well-supplied and automated media center, a 28-station computer lab, and well-designed specialty areas for art, music, and physical education. Each classroom is equipped with a telephone, and parent/teacher communication is enhanced with a voice-mail system. Two carts of 25 laptop computers are available for student use.
