Sánchez Elementary School is close to downtown on Austin's east side. Built in 1976, the campus boasts murals by Raul Valdez depicting the school?s Hispanic history and heritage. Sánchez was one of the district's first to introduce two-way dual language education- fitting because the school's namesake, George Sánchez, was a pioneer in bilingual education. Our school's library is rich in literature and cultural artifacts, and the Sánchez Aztec Singers often perform and compete at venues citywide. Community organizations like Capital Area 4-H, Extend-a-Care, and Keep Austin Beautiful have also been partners in service at Sánchez for many years.
