Campus History and Motto
History
Fletcher was founded in 1912 by the Board of Education, which consisted of the Superintendent H.F. Triplett, President of the Board, Guy W. Junker, and Secretary, Louis Mayer. Fletcher Elementary School is located in South Central Beaumont in the most culturally diverse community in the Beaumont Independent School District. It is four blocks West of MLK Parkway and one block South of College Street. It is believed that the school was named for the then Beaumont City Mayor, E.A. Fletcher.
The original owner of the property specifically stated (in the deed) that Fletcher was to be built for the education of white students only. Fletcher now provides a quality education for Asians, African Americans, Hispanics, and white students. Hispanic students comprise 54% of the student body.
When the school opened in 1914, it consisted of two floors and a basement. Currently, Fletcher is a one-story U-shaped building that was erected around the original structure in 1984. In 1994, two city blocks on the East and South side of the structure were purchased for expansion. A new wing was added to provide for the increased student population.

- School buses will pick up students in front of the gym on Avenue F. Parking in this area is prohibited.
- DO NOT park within 50 ft. of the intersection on Avenue F and Gilbert Street. Doing so makes it difficult for buses and cars to turn.
