Tritt Elementary this month celebrated its 30 year anniversary with a school event attended by present and former students, staff and community. Tritt opened in September 1980 and was named for Will Tritt (1887-1955), a lifelong resident of the area and a strong advocate of public education. The school was built on land formerly known as the Post Oak settlement, named for a huge tree at the intersection of Post Oak Tritt and Johnson Ferry Road. A one-room schoolhouse was also located near this tree.
