Irma Dru Hutchison Elementary School

She taught in Honolulu, then came home. Irma Dru Hutchison was born in Richmond in 1894 and wanted to teach from childhood. She went to Richmond High School, took a degree and a master's in New York, taught for two years in Hawaii, and returned to Richmond High in 1934 for more than a decade. In 1949 she was on the staff that opened Lamar Consolidated High School. She retired in 1965 and spent her time gardening and collecting coins and stamps.

When the district looked for a name, 46 people nominated her. Trustee Sam Hopkins said she "is still considered one of the finest educators."

Home of the Hornets. The campus mission is worth repeating as written: "Hutchison Hornets lead, learn, and do the right thing when no one is looking."
