This school was named for Monroe Leland Hayward, a prominent Nebraska City lawyer, farmer and stock raiser. Mr. Hayward became a U.S. senator in 1899 and died the

same year.

Hayward replaced the Z Street School and was built in the same location. (In 1942 the name of Z Street was changed to Charleston.)

In 1968 Hayward became the school district’s Head Start and Follow-Through School. In 1971 Hayward was designated “Hayward Trainable School” and became the location for TOP (Training for Educational Proficiency).

The school was closed in 1981 and sold to a private developer who remodeled it into thirty-nine condominiums.
