Westmore Oaks School-South Campus



The Washington Unified School District built Westmore Oaks Elementary School in 1952. Elmer Reuter was principal of Westmore Oaks school from 1952-1981. The campus has been divided into two locations with the 6th through 8th grades being housed at the Westmore Oaks North Campus on West Acre Road. Westmore Oaks North and South will be consolidated into one campus when they relocate to the old River City High School on Clarendon--the new facility is in planning and design stages now.

Trivia: Our family has over 50 years of memories at this campus. My brother Howard, sister Kathye and my daughter Christy attended Westmore Oaks School when Mr. Reuter was the principal. Now my grandson attends Westmore Oaks South...~Barbara

Do you remember Mr. Reuters sweet peas that grew up the cyclone fence by the parking lot every spring? He had planted them himself. School was right at the end of block when we lived on Longcroft. I worked at River City. It was a happy/simple life. PJ Hargrove/Bonfield.

I remember the sweet peas.
I also remember the kindergarten teacher's (Mrs Rollin?) old blue bicycle.
How about that mean 2nd or 3rd grade teacher Mrs Chase!
