History

  • In 1918 school trustees purchased a 2.5-acre (10,000 m2) lot bordered by Old Mill Street, Elma Street, Lovell Avenue, and Throckmorton Avenue to build a new school to replace the Summit School.[2]
  • On November 19, 1921 Old Mill School opened. Total construction cost, including equipment, was $85,000.[2]
  • In the 1930s Old Mill received a seismic retrofit along with the addition of classrooms 1, 2, and 3 on the Elma Street side of the school.
  • In the late 1950s classrooms 9, 10, 11, and 12 were added on the Old Mill Street side of the school.
  • In 1995 Old MIll School underwent a major, 3-year renovation, including the addition of a new library/multimedia center, an art/science facility, a new gymnasium/auditorium, and a new administration core.
  • In 1997 two new modular classrooms were added on the Elma Street side of the upper yard because of a class size reduction policy adopted by the Mill Valley School District.
