About Us

Coltrane-Webb is a STEM Elementary school located in the heart of Concord, North Carolina. CWES is the proud home of the Cougars and a NC STEM School of Distinction at the Model level!

Although the school site has a long history that dates back to 1887, Coltrane-Webb Elementary officially opened in 1957 when Coltrane Grammar School and Webb School joined.  Named after Daniel Branson Coltrane, who helped start Concord City Schools, and Albert Shipp Webb, a head of Concord City Schools, Coltrane-Webb has long been rooted in the community.  In 2024, the school was moved to a temporary location while the original building was demonlished and a new building was constructed in its place. The current building opened to welcome students, staff, and families in 2026.

In 2011, Coltrane-Webb Elementary became a STEM school.  Since 2011, Coltrane-Webb STEM Elementary received designation as a North Carolina STEM School of Distinction in 2015 at the Model Level, which was renewed in 2020 and 2024.

Coltrane-Webb STEM Elementary continues to strive for excellence through fostering innate curiosity and joy of discovery in students.  Through student-centered, collaborative, problem-based learning and active engagement from the community, our students prepare to be successful citizens ready for their future.
