Fruitville History

Fruitville Elementary School traces its roots to a 19th century one-room schoolhouse. When Florida pioneers and newlyweds Charles Reaves and Martha Tatum Reaves settled in the area in 1875, there was no local school. As their children grew, the couple was determined to create a place in the community to educate them. In 1887, Charles and Martha converted their farm's corncrib to a school for their three children and seven neighbors.

Much has changed since the school's modest beginnings, but one thing remains the same. Just as early settlers were determined to establish a school for their community in the 1880's, the members of today's Fruitville Elementary School family are dedicated to helping children explore, discover and learn.
