About Our School
Dr. Morrow, principal and Ms. Couchman, assistant principal
East Silver Spring Elementary School was originally built in 1927, which makes it one of Montgomery County's oldest schools. In fact, in 1992, during Silver Spring's Sesquicentennial, ESS received a commendation from the county for its long and fruitful service to the community. The original building was severely damaged by fire but was rebuilt and modernized in 1979. An additional wing was added in 1987.
ESS is a primary school serving Pre-K through third grade. The staff is committed to every student's success in a caring, nurturing atmosphere. The school serves a diverse population that represents over 15 countries. The school will begin the transition from a primary school to an elementary school that will serve students in Pre-K to fifth grade by the 2011/2012 school year. Construction will begin in mid winter of 2009; the expansion project is expected to be complete by August of 2010. Students attend Takoma Middle School for grades six through eight and have the opportunity to attend one of the five high schools in the Down County Consortium [Blair, Northwood, Kennedy, Wheaton, and Einstein HS].
