Welcome to the Shannon Elementary School Website


Shannon School, located in the outskirts of Pinole, was built in 1967. It was named after the town of Shannon in Eire, in honor of the Fitzgerald dairy family, who formerly owned the land on which the school was built. The school's residential area encompasses the triangle formed by three major thoroughfares. Appian Way, San Pablo Avenue and Tara Hills Drive. Special features of this K-6 school are its spacious grounds, its single-story California ranch-style design and its international enrollment.
