Our Namesake-Dean H. Krueger
On February 24, 2004, the Northside Independent School District Board of Trustees named the formerly titled "Braun Road Area" elementary school in honor of longtime Northside resident, parent, teacher, assistant principal, principal and District Administrator Dean H. Krueger.
Dean H. Krueger Elementary School opened in the summer of 2005. Krueger most recently served as Deputy Superintendent for Administration, capping a 30-year career in public education. He also attended schools in NISD.
Dean H. Krueger Elementary was dedicated on October 15, 2005.

Mascot, Colors and More!
