School History

South Daytona Elementary opened in 1964. The school received its name because it is the only elementary school in the city of South Daytona. In the early years the school did not have a cafeteria or the services of art, music and physical education teachers. South Daytona Elementary, home of the Dragons, was designated as a Red Carpet School by the state of Florida, and in 1990 received the Meritorious School Award for Student Achievement. South Daytona has earned the Golden School Award for the number of volunteer hours over the past several years. To find out more about this school and others in our district, please click on the link below.
