McClellan Elementary School was opened for occupancy January 3,
1956. At that time there were 165 students, enrolled in grades
1 to 6 with a teaching staff of 5 teachers . Special features
of the school included: "a kitchen, all purpose room, sinks,
water fountains, acoustical ceilings, automatic emergency
lighting, automatic combination gas-oil fired boilers, tile
walls, terrazzo floors, green chalkboards, fluorescent
lighting and modern safeguards against the danger of fire and
panic." McClellan was built on a plot of land that was
approximately nine acres. The school was constructed to permit
additional rooms to be built when necessary. In 1958, an annex
was added to McClellan to accommodate the growing school
population. The school population continued to grow and in
1968 the school population reached 660 students. Thus, a second
renovation was completed in 1981-1982 and a third renovation was
completed 2002.
McClellan Elementary School has a very active PTA, which was
started in 1957. Monies raised from PTA dues go directly
to provide educational activities for the children in the
school. Some of these activities include monthly assemblies
and special activities.
Over the course of its history as a school, McClellan Elementary
has hosted Astronauts from NASA, been visited by famous
authors Patricia Polacco and Robert Munch and hosted visits
from Senators and Representatives of both the State and
Federal government. The children at McClellan Elementary have
developed a rich sense of community, partnering with the
American Heart Association, Juvenile Diabetes Association , Make
a Wish, Toys for TOTS, Katrina Relief and adopting the Hoason
Primary School in Vietnam.
