McInnis Elementary, first called DeLeon Springs School, came into being on Tuesday, September 29, 1885, when the townspeople of DeLeon Springs decided to build a school.In 1937, a new school was built as a WPA (Works Progress Administration) project on five acres of land donated by F. N. Burt on Highway 17. In 1954, the school was destroyed by fire.

Another new building was then erected on the same site, including six classrooms, an auditorium, and an office suite. Louise McInnis was named principal of the new school where she remained for 28 years. Upon Mrs. McInnis' retirement in 1971, the school was renamed McInnis Elementary in her honor.
