Seffner Elementary School
The first Seffner School was constructed in 1866 and was named after Mr. F. P. Seffner, one of the leading citizens of his day in this area. In 1915 land was donated by Mr. J.M. Branch and the small school was replaced by a two-storied, three room building. This building still stands and is now the Seffner Civic Center.
In 1961 Mrs. Aldine Griffin, Seffner’s principal, presided over the opening ceremony of the present Seffner Elementary School which boasted 10 classrooms, a cafeteria and an office suite at its new (current) location. In 1967 Mr. Zeno Stalnaker was the principal of Seffner Elementary when the second phase of construction was completed. Seffner gained 24 classrooms, a storage room, a library, a physical education office and a multipurpose room. Seffner continued to grow and in 1991 Seffner Elementary was again transformed with a large renovation and expansion. The improvements included a Kindergarten wing, ESE resource building and much more.
The Seffner Mustangs now display the colors blue and white as they team with their PTA and local community businesses to provide all students with the highest quality educational experience. We strive to equip, empower and enrich every student every day as we prepare them to be problem solvers ready for tomorrow’s challenges.
