School History
In the early 1950s the community of Belleville was rapidly growing. There was a need for a new elementary school. The members of the Union Township School District made initial overtures to the State Department of Education for approval to construct a new elementary school. Ground was broken in April 1957 and the new Belleville Elementary school was ready for the school term beginning September 3, 1958.

Union Elementary is in the Indian Valley attendance area (Area I).
