San Jose Elementary - Home of the Hawks

About our School

Educating the leaders of tomorrow since 1958, San Jose Elementary School is located in a quiet neighborhood in Dunedin, Florida. It is adjacent to Hammock Park.

San Jose is a neighborhood school with a warm, family atmosphere and caring staff members.

If location is everything, then proximity to the Pinellas Trail, Hammock Park, Dunedin Nature Center and the Gulf of Mexico makes our school a "natural choice"
