Welcome to the Ellerhorst Elementary School website.

Ellerhorst Elementary School is located in the city of Pinole and in historic Pinole Valley . The creek that flows beside the campus was once the campsite for local Miwok Indians and an early ruin from the Spanish Rancho era can be found near by. The school was built in 1959 and named in honor of Frances L. Ellerhorst, one of Pinole's earliest and most respected teachers. In October of 2005 we moved back to a totally renovated campus. We are indeed fortunate to be allowed to teach and learn in such a wonderfully beautiful and modern facility.

The Ellerhorst community clearly values their school as the community center for their children. The PTA and the Dad's Club willingly take on projects and provide extra funding through their several annual fundraising activities. These parent groups also arrange after school classes and many other extra-curricular activities year round. We have a competing Robotics Team, and many students show off their talents in the annual Talent Show. This year it was even better than in year's past, thanks to the new sound and lighting systems.
