School History

Founded in 1915 on land donated by the Park Place Development Company, Park Place Elementary began as a one-room school in the then-independent City of Park Place. The campus was renovated in 1925 and became part of Houston ISD when Houston annexed the area in 1927

In the early 2000s, a modern facility opened just north of the original site, preserving its historic address while offering updated space for future generations. Today, Park Place Elementary remains a beloved neighborhood institution, known for its multicultural spirit and longstanding ties to southeast Houston.
