History

Lida Hooe School was named Sunset Hill School when it first was opened in 1920. The main building was finished in 1923, and in 1924 the name of the school was changed to Lida Hooe in memory of the former teacher and writing supervisor.

Mary Eliza (Lida) Hooe was born on September 14, 1875, in Hungerford, Texas to Douglas McLean Hooe and Mary Eliza Tilley. She graduated from Dallas High School as valedictorian in 1893. Lida Hooe taught in the Dallas schools and in 1904 became the first Supervisor of Penmanship and Drawing. During one summer, she studied art in Virginia and there became acquainted with the artist Georgia O'Keefe who later visited in the Hooe home. Lida died on September 27, 1923 from breast cancer. She is buried in Oakland Cemetery.)[1]

Lida Hooe Elementary was a TEA recognized campus in 2007-2008, 2008-2009, and 2009-2010.

Feeder patterns

Lida Hooe Elementary feeds into W. E. Greiner Middle School and ultimately into Sunset High School.[5]

School uniforms

All DISD elementary school students [1], including Hooe students, are required to wear school uniforms.

The Texas Education Agency specified that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.[6]
