DECOTO PUBLIC SCHOOL

Before July 2, 1868, children living in Decoto had to attend Alvarado, Alviso or Centerville Schools.  In 1868, the Cosmopolitan School District was formed.  L. W. Musick was the District Superintendent and Trustees were Alwin Searles, William Davis and Manual White.  J. G. Clark housed Decoto School on property he owned that is now Dry Creek Apartments.  After a new schoolhouse was built in 1883, the old schoolhouse became the home of Henry May, Clara Whipple May, and their three children Henry Jr., Gertrude, and Marjorie.  The old schoolhouse is now the Dry Creek Apartment manager's residence.  The current Decoto School was built in 1929.
