  • History of Barron 

    Barron Elementary School has a rich history in Plano ISD. Barron was opened as an elementary school in 1971 and was named for James M. Barron. James M. Barron served on the first Plano School Board from 1899-1903 and before that served on the Plano City Council in 1891. It was during his tenure on the City Council that Ordinance 84 was passed by the citizens where by the City Council would act as a “board of directors” of the school system. J. M. Barron was named, among others, to be an ex-officio member of the school board. At this time the City of Plano was declared to be an independent school district. Mr. Barron was married to Virginia Routh.
