School History

 

The original brick building was constructed in 1922. It was built as a school for the town of Redmond, which was incorporated on December 31, 1912.  At first it was used as both grade school through high school, having 459 students by 1929. Through the years it has been the high school, junior high and then an elementary school named Redmond Elementary.

 By 1950 an additional building was added to the old brick two story building with an additional 10 classrooms.  At one time, as the only elementary in Redmond, the school housed nearly 850 K-6 students.

                                                                                                                              

In 1998, the additional building of 10 classrooms was torn down and a new building was built to the east of the original brick building and with the addition of several other elementary schools in Redmond, the enrollment has stablized around 410 students. 

 

                                 

The wonderful old brick building is now leased by the city of Redmond and is used as a community center housing the Redmond Parks Department and other city programs.
