 | The first Tomoka School began in 1885 at the Tomoka Settlement which was located on the Tomoka River about four miles west of the present day Ormond Beach. The school was a 20-foot by 20-foot structure, one side of a vacant building in an orange grove. |
Volusia County School Board records indicate the existence of another Tomoka School from 1911 to 1923. Old and New Tomoka were schools for African American students. The present Tomoka Elementary School opened its doors to 240 students in October of 1968, after being housed at the First Baptist Church of Ormond Beach for six weeks. In 1968, the integration of Tomoka Elementary made the national TV news, showing the principal warmly greeting his new African American students. Also in 1977, Tomoka students completed a ceramic tile mural commemorating the legend of Chief Tomokie, under the direction of art teacher Joyce Phillips Bachman, that remains as a focal point of the school cafeteria. | |
