Dorris Place Elementary School

«Neath the hills of Elysian, stands an honored place…»
That’s the first line to the school song that we were forced to sing every Friday morning. It was a ritual that ingrained the entire song in my head. Even though I only attended from the 3^rd-​5^th grade, I still consider this place my elementary school.
The first part of my primary school education took place in Chinatown so when I first started going to Dorris Place, I noticed a lot more diversity (which is a good thing!!) I really liked most of my teachers except one, who really played favorites (I was definitely not one of them).
If you ever get the chance to drive by Dorris Place, you might think it looked really familiar. The reason is that many commercials and movies have been filmed at my alma mater. The beautiful brick architecture lures the shiny cameras. I remember when High School High was filmed here and I saw my first celebrity… one of the Wayan brothers. I can’t remember if it was Keenen or Damon… but it was most likely Damon. Awesome huh???
One last thing: A shout out to all my fellow Tigers who are reading this review!!!
