Background: Masons Cove Elementary School was opened in January 1962, with 256 pupils. In September 1981, all Catawba students were transferred to Masons Cove when Catawba Elementary School was closed. Masons Cove Elementary School is a one-story brick building constructed in 1961. In 1963, an upper wing was added to accommodate the increasing enrollment. In 1967, a kitchen unit was added. A cafeteria and three additional classrooms were completed in the fall of 1987. In 1993, with an approximate enrollment of 320, a four classroom addition and air conditioning were added to the building.

The school has a very active parent-teacher association. The association has served the school with volunteers and contributions of materials and equipment. The Masons Cove PTA has received recognition for its outstanding membership.

A picnic shelter on campus funded and built by the PTA and Roanoke County, provides families and groups with a place to gather. A track and a garden are two additional projects that the PTA has been instrumental in securing.
