Carman Buckner Elementary School has a proud heritage. This heritage is as colorful and as worthwhile as are the background and contributions of the students who have attended McAllister-Lincoln School in the past. The McAllister-Lincoln School, which was replaced by the new Carman Buckner School complex, serves a school community whose citizens and children come from many cultural, religious and racial groups. The contributions to this community by students of our school are the same as have been the contributions to this entire nation by the groups who have immigrated to the United States.

McAllister School boasted that its enrollment included children who were either foreign-born or were young children who spoke a second language. During the first years of the McAllister School, the Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish nationalities predominated. Since then, the roster has included nationalities of northern ,central and southern Europe: Germans, Lithuanians, Polish, Austrians, Czechoslovakians, Slovenians, Bulgarians, Italians, Greeks and Armenians. . More recently new citizens from Mexico and Central America have come to this school community, as have African Americans from many states in the union.
