Hoelscher Elementary School is one of the many schools of San Antonio, Texas where its history has been overlooked. This news article explores the history of Hoelscher Elementary School.
Regina Hoelscher Elementary School opened in 1961 just adjacent to Brentwood Middle School in Thompson Field. Prekindergarten classes were offered at this school. Hoelscher Elementary School was named for Regina Hoelscher who was an educator for 47 years.
During the 2000s is when Virginia Kinney served as the principal for Regina Hoelscher Elementary School. She would serve as its principal until the school closed in the spring of 2005. The school's mascot was the Little Rockets and its colors were green and white.
Edgewood Independent School District closed Hoelscher Elementary School in the spring of 2005 due to high maintenance costs. Its low declining enrollment is another factor that led to the school’s closure. At the time of the closure, Hoelscher Elementary School was a K-5 school which operated from 1961 to 2005 in the Edgewood Independent School District. 97% of the student body was Hispanic.
After Hoelscher Elementary School closed, the school merged into Brentwood Middle School to accommodate more room for class space in summer of 2006. The school district used portions of the building as office spaces.
Today the building still stands and has now been merged into Brentwood Middle School. Edgewood ISD officials now use the building as office space.
Hoelscher Elementary School is located at 1602 Thompson Pl, San Antonio, Texas, US 78226.
