# Campbell Union Grammar School

Campbell Union Grammar School, now known as the Heritage Village Offices, is a historic building located in Campbell, California.

It is also sometimes referred to as Campbell Grammar School.

## History

Campbell Union Grammar School was completed in 1922. Four school districts combined to form the Campbell Union School District in 1920. In 1921, voters approved a bond issue that allowed Campbell Union Grammar School to become the first grammar school built by the new district. William H. Weeks designed more schools in Northern California during the period 1884-1936 than any other Bay Area-based architect. He considered Campbell Grammar School to be one of his best designs. The school has been a focal point for the community since it was built. The auditorium was built larger than necessary for the student body in order to accommodate community meetings. Between 1922 and 1946 this was the only grammar school in the Campbell Union School District.
