First Pharr-San
Juan-Alamo School
The common school
district of Pharr and San
Juan began construction of this school in 1915. First used for
the 1916-1917 school year, its enrollment was 143, with twelve teachers
and a graduating class of nine. The name was changed in 1919 to Pharr-San
Juan Independent School District. Although the town of Alamo
was also founded that year and contributed students to the school,
the Alamo name was not officially added until 1959. In 1961 this became
Jefferson Junior High. It was named Memorial Junior High in 1979 in
honor of all Pharr-San Juan-Alamo veterans.
