Lorenzo Dow Hendricks Elementary School joins Anna ISD’s four other elementary schools, supporting the district’s growth. The two-story design accommodates up to 800 students in pre-k through fifth grade. Prioritizing daylight, the building provides large windows in every classroom. Ample skylights allow natural light to filter into the media center, the academic hub of the school. Two levels of physical and visual connection promote multifunctional use and access, alongside dedicated spaces for art, music, special education, and science.
