The high school closed in 1940, but the elementary school remained for nearly 20 more years, when the Dorchester school merged with the Howe Independent School District. The Howe district continues to educate students in the area today. The Dorchester Dragon's School Song was originally written by Emily Juanita Stewart. She currently resides in Howe, Texas.

The Howe High School student who displayed the highest level of "Dragon Spirit" amongst the students enrolled in the Dorchester and Howe areas.
