About Us

Meadows Elementary opened in 1964 on land donated by Dallas oilman and philanthropist Algur Hurtle Meadows, founder of what eventually became the General American Oil Company and a major benefactor of Southern Methodist University, including the establishment of the Meadows Museum.

Constructed at a cost of $265,000, the school expanded with additions in 1965 and 1973. A comprehensive renovation and further additions were completed between 1990 and 1992, ensuring the campus continued to meet the needs of a growing community.

Today, Meadows Elementary continues its tradition of excellence, serving generations of students with a commitment to academic achievement, character development, and community engagement.
