The school was built as a neighborhood schhol on land given to the Volusia County School Board by the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Hurst. The Hurst family had purchased 2000 acres in Holly Hill area under the Murphy Act.

Mr. Hurst had been a saw mill operator who highly valued education even though he had only about one year of formal schooling. Hurst Elementary adopted the Yellow Jacket as its mascot because of the many bees kept by the honey beekeepers in the nearby orange grooves.
