"Doan's Hollow Public School" is a defunct public elementary school that existed from the early 20th century until circa 1980. Due to its status as one of the first two schools that taught the mentally disabled, it was considered to be a "pioneer school" for the disabled population of Norfolk County. Special education programs were eventually introduced to the other elementary schools in Norfolk County that allowed children to attend schools that were closer to their homes. Doan's Hollow Public School was a feeder school to Simcoe Composite School during its years of operation although it also shared close proximity to Port Dover Composite School (when it first opened in 1962).
