History

Janney Elementary School opened in 1925, as:

the last word in modern schoolhouse construction. It will have two distinctive features which other buildings of its type in the District lack – a combination gymnasium and assembly hall and adequate outdoor play space.[4]

In 1926, principal Blanche Pulizzi provided space for Tenleytown’s public library. In 1932, the west wing was completed. A renovation started in 2010, and was completed in 2011. A separate renovation took place in 2012, that expanded the west wing of the school, and added classrooms.[5][6]

It was listed by the D.C. Historic Preservation Review Board, in 2009. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in 2010.

Its principal is Alysia Lutz.[7]
