General Information
School History
The first Florin School of 1887 was located on McComber Lane just east of the railroad tracks. It was a one-room structure just as were all the little schools of the area. The present building that dates to 1956 is the fourth site of Florin School. The second school still stands on Florin Road and is used by Elk Grove’s Adult Education program. In 1914, this school had the distinction of being one of only four segregated schools in California. A new brick building was built west of town – the Caucasian children went to the new school, and the Japanese children attended the old school. The two schools were referred to as the East School and the West School, and they stayed segregated until 1939. The West school was destroyed by vandals in the 1970s, but the East School lives on. The name of Florin comes from the railroad stop town designated as such by Judge E. B. Crocker who was impressed with the multitude of wild flowers in the area – thus the Spanish Flor for flower.

Livescans through outside companies or jobs requiring fingerprint clearance will not be accepted. You MUST complete the process through EGUSD.
CURRENT VOLUNTEERS – A notification was sent via email on July 2nd. You will keep your current volunteer status as cleared, as long as you complete the Mandated Training within 6 weeks of the notification (deadline August 13th).
