Theodore Judah School, Public elementary school in East Sacramento, United States.

Theodore Judah School is a public elementary school in East Sacramento whose permanent building was constructed by the Public Works Administration between 1937 and 1939. It is the last standing PWA school in the city. The school occupies the site where classes began in 1927 in a one-room wooden bungalow called the David Lubin Annex.

The school started in 1927 as a small wooden building with temporary status before expanding significantly in the years that followed. The current main building was completed in 1939 after being funded through federal public work programs of that period.

The school is named after Theodore Judah, the engineer who surveyed the route of the first transcontinental railroad through the Sierra Nevada. It opened in 1927 as the David Lubin Annex, a one-room wooden bungalow, and took its present name the same year. The 1937 building was repainted in 1995 after a specialist identified its original paint colours.

Keep in mind that the grounds are actively used during school hours, and access to certain areas may be limited at those times. The best time to visit is outside school hours when you can appreciate the building's exterior and explore the surrounding neighborhood.

The 1937 building is Sacramento's last standing PWA school, and it was the city's oldest continuously operating school that secured its 1994 listing on the city historic register. When the district repainted it in 1995, a specialist was hired to identify the original paint colors.
