Pirrung Elementary opened its doors in 1987 and was named after Dr. Joey Pirrung who served as both the district’s team physician for 25 years and as a school board trustee for 9 years. Dr. Pirrung passed away in 1991, four years after the opening of our campus.

Today, Pirrung Elementary serves about 450 students from pre-k through 5th grade. Our school is known for its small, family atmosphere.

Pirrung is proud to implement the House System where every student and teacher belongs to one of 4 houses (Coraggio, Mahalo, Inspirovat and Confianza). Each house represents one of our core values, has a mascot, color, and crest. Camaraderie, healthy competition, and a sense of belonging are fostered through this system. Students can earn house points, participate in house assemblies and games, etc. Students and teachers love to show their spirit and pride for their houses!
