As Mount Pleasant’s Bancroft Elementary School celebrates the 100th anniversary of its dedication, we look back at its development and evolution into one of the more diverse schools in the District with students and teachers from more than 40 countries. The campus has been expanded five times, in 1932, 1938, 1961, 1973, and 2018 since construction of the original building, which was first occupied for the 1924-1925 school year.
