Herff Elementary, SAISD Herff Elementary is a dual language campus where we believe every child will be successful.

Herff Elementary was named after Ferdinand Ludwig von Herff whom was born November 29, 1820. Herff attended the University of Berlin and the University of Bonn, where his uncle Doctor von Rehfuss was the president of the university. In 1853, he became a charter member of the Texas Medical Association. Herff strived to elevate the standards of medical practice, and was San Antonio health officer in 1860. Like many Germans, Herff was a supporter of the Union in the Civil War; however, he served as Confederate States Army surgeon, treating the patient not the uniform. He helped the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word establish Santa Rosa Infirmary, San Antonio's first hospital. He became the treasurer of the San Antonio Independent School District Board from May 1899 to May 1906.

A massive thank you to all of our incredible families for your hard work and dedication so far. We are so close to the top, and we know we can reach 1st place if we all work together.
Here is how you can help us make that final push:

Every single bottle and box can brings us one step closer to victory. Let's show everyone what our community can do when we team up. Bring in your recycling this week and let's take 1st place! ♻️🏆
