On October 3, 1891 the County Commissioners appropriated $240 out of the general fund for the purpose of "establishing and maintaining a public school at the town of Texline". Opened in 1892, it became the first school in Dallam County.[9] The school was later moved into the new courthouse upon its completion and held there until 1912 when a two story school building was constructed. By 1922, school enrollment was up to 248 and construction for a new school was begun. It was located where the tennis court now stands. This building was demolished in 1968. Classes began in the fall of 1966 in the present one story building and campus located at 302 E. Pine St.[10]
