Description: Kathryn Hughes Elementary School is a preschool through fifth grade school.
Hughes Elementary School is located in Santa Clara in a suburban community adjacent to San Jose. First built in 1964, our school was named for Kathryn Hughes, an outstanding teacher in the Alviso School District for 39 years.
The school has been remodeled with soundproofing and air conditioning due to the San Jose Airport Expansion. This excellently maintained facility presents a warm and inviting educational environment for children. For the 1997-98 school year, four 'portable' buildings were located on the site to give space for lowering class size to 20 in grades K-3. We have now gone back to 30:1 in K-3. Summer 1998 six additional 'portables' were temporarily located on the field to accommodate growth in the student body. In 2004 Kathryn Hughes was modernized, creating classroom environments ready for the 21st century.
In 2012, Hughes was awarded a $500,000 technology grant from the Altera Foundation. This grant has allowed us to outfit every classroom with a SMART Interactive Whiteboard, audio projection system, document cameras, teacher laptops, and 1:1 tablets for students (coming in the 2013-14 school year). A second computer lab was also added, thanks to the grant. The goal is for Hughes Elementary to become a district professional development site for technology, beginning in the 2014-15 school year.
