The building was sold to the City of Mesa and a 11.0 acre site at 3220 E. Pueblo Ave was purchased. Construction of our Irving Elementary was completed in 1978. Irving was originally 46,570 sq. ft. and designed for a student capacity of 750 and a final cost of $1,797,684. Since then we have expanded but our commitment to education remains as strong as when the school was founded.
