Initially the district rented a facility owned by a private individual. In 1910 a brick school building was built on Block 5 in La Gloria, a community in Jim Wells County. The school district's name, the following year, changed to La Gloria Common School District No. 21 with the district now being of Jim Wells County. A replacement facility opened in the 1930s.[3] A cafeteria facility opened in 1950. An auditorium and a classroom wing opened in 1956.[5] The district's name changed to the current one effective September 1, 1978. In 1997 and 2002 a library and gymnasium/multipurpose facility were built, respectively. In 1999 the library's addition, a classroom called Room 12, was installed.[2] References
