Location & History: Tullar Elementary has been the same site for more than 130 years. The most recent building was built in the 1950s with an addition in 1969. Once the Town of Neenah School, the school is named after the farmer who donated the land for the school. Tullar now sits within the city of Neenah, but not long ago it was surrounded by cow pastures. The staff at Tullar Elementary is a healthy blend of veteran staff and new hires, many with specialized advanced certifications to augment their classroom teacher certifications.
