Evers Park Elementary: Honoring the Evers Family's Legacy in Denton

At Evers Park Elementary, we take pride in celebrating our school's rich history and the community that shapes our values. Our name, Evers Park, honors the remarkable contributions of the Evers family to the Denton community. Through their dedication, hard work, and commitment to fostering a strong, inclusive community, the Evers family embodies the very values we uphold: Learn, Grow, and Include.

Learning from the Evers Legacy

The Evers family's commitment to education and learning has deep roots in Denton. The family owned and operated Evers Hardware, a staple in the community for over a century. Established in 1913, Evers Hardware became more than just a business; it was a gathering place where knowledge and practical skills were shared among residents. The store was known for its knowledgeable staff, who were always willing to help customers learn about home improvement, gardening, and more. This emphasis on practical education and skill-sharing reflects our value of learning at Evers Park Elementary. We strive to create an environment where students are not only educated academically but also equipped with practical life skills, mirroring the Evers family's commitment to lifelong learning.

Growing Together as a Community

The Evers family played a crucial role in the growth and modernization of Denton, particularly in the development of essential infrastructure. They were instrumental in bringing water and power to the city, significantly improving the quality of life for its residents. In the early 20th century, the Evers family collaborated with city officials and other local businesses to establish Denton's first water supply system and electrical grid. Their efforts ensured that the city had reliable access to clean water and electricity, which were critical for public health and economic development. This spirit of community growth is integral to our mission at Evers Park Elementary. We encourage our students to set ambitious goals and grow into responsible, confident individuals. Our partnerships with local businesses and organizations continue the Evers family's tradition of community engagement, ensuring that our students have ample opportunities to connect with and contribute to their community.

Including All, Embracing Diversity

Inclusivity has always been a cornerstone of the Evers family's ethos. Throughout its history, Evers Hardware was known for treating all customers with respect and fairness, regardless of their background. This inclusive approach fostered a welcoming atmosphere that made everyone feel valued. The Evers family's dedication to embracing diversity and inclusion is a legacy we proudly uphold at Evers Park Elementary. We celebrate the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of our students, staff, and families, recognizing that our differences make us stronger. By promoting inclusivity, we aim to build a compassionate, understanding, and supportive school community where every child feels they belong.

In conclusion, the Evers family has left an indelible mark on Denton, and their legacy continues to inspire us at Evers Park Elementary. Through our commitment to learning, growth, and inclusion, we honor their contributions and strive to make our school a place where every child can thrive. Just as the Evers family helped bring essential services like water and power to Denton, Evers Park Elementary aims to be a cornerstone of education and community spirit, building a bright future grounded in the values that have shaped our community for generations.
