Elbert and Margaret Morton moved their six children from Missouri to Katy in October 1896, bought land whose purchase price went to the state’s Permanent School Fund, and farmed rice and ran cattle. The 1900 storm took their first house; they rebuilt on the same ground. The elementary’s Mavericks wear purple and white. First bell rings at 8:03 a.m.; dismissal is at 3:20 p.m.
