The José Fontán School (Spanish: Escuela José Fontán) is a historic early 20th-century school located in Morovis Pueblo, the administrative and historic center of the municipality of Morovis, Puerto Rico. The school building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in August 2012 due to its architectural importance as a prime example of the Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements architecture, particularly the Mission/Spanish Revival style, under the Early Twentieth Century Schools in Puerto Rico TR. The building was designed by Puerto Rican architect Rafael Carmoega and by Joseph O'Kelly from the Puerto Rico & American Insurance Co.[1]
