Completed in 1958 but not opened until February 27, 1959 because of unfinished streets, A.M. Pate Elementary School (originally #067, now #153) was designed by Preston M. Geren and erected by the Holden Construction Company. When completed, the school had 20 classrooms, an art room, a kindergarten room, and a library and room for 640 students. Its design differs from other schools built in this era in that it has a low-pitched gabled roof rather than a typical flat roof.
