San Jacinto Elementary stands as the forefather of education for Deer Park. Originally located on 204 Ivy Street - now called the Leon Wolters Administration Building - the school opened its doors in 1930 under the name San Jacinto Elementary.

History
Prior to 1930, each of three schools - Deepwater School, Deer Park School, and Lynchburg School - offered its own one or two room school house for elementary education. However, in January of 1930, these three schools consolidated into Harris County Rural High School District Number 2 which later became known as the Deer Park Independent School District in 1940.

Construction of a new site for a central elementary school began and in the fall of 1930, San Jacinto Elementary was in operation. Dr. B.C. Watts served as the first superintendent and approximately 60 students attended that opening year.

Wooden floors, traditional blackboards, and ornate architecture characterized the eight room school. The year 1939 saw an added gymnasium and two additional wings. The following year, the district became an independent school district and graduated its first class of eight students.
