Additional Information: | The 1970 Allouez Master Plan II recommended an 8.4 acre site between Sunrise Lane and Longview Avenue for a school. Named after Wisconsin Governor James D. Doty, James D. Doty Elementary School was the first school built by the Green Bay School District in Allouez. Architect Richard Surplice designed the school in 1971, modeled primarily after the plans of Helen Keller Elementary School on the West Side of Green Bay. The Green Bay City Council approved a bond of $1.2 million for the school. The school continues to operate to this day and serves students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. |
