School History

Houston’s connection to A. A. Milne is primarily through Alan Alexander Milne Elementary School, located in the Brays Oaks neighborhood at 7800 Portal Drive. Here's a concise history of this local tribute:
Named for the famed English author of Winnie the Pooh, A. A. Milne Elementary opened in 1991 as part of the Houston Independent School District
It serves grades Pre K through 5 and offers programs such as Gifted & Talented, with current enrollment around 480 students
The school’s mission and activities reflect community use—its library, gym, field, and cafeteria are available for local gatherings.
