OUSD - Greenleaf Elementary

Greenleaf a small K-5 school in the heart of East Oakland opened in 2007 after a design team of educators parents and community members spent a year re-envisioning the schools mission. Originally named John Whittier after the abolitionist poet our school site has a rich legacy we strive to preserve carry forward — and expand. Greenleaf was Whittiers middle name bringing to mind his dedication to social justice creativity and scholasticism. At the same time our new name symbolizes a step forward as we adapt and branch out to meet our neighborhoods many challenges. We are devoted to tradition — a growing evolving tradition.
