The first Comal School is now (1983) a barn owned by Edgar McAnally.  The land on which the Comal Schools were located were bought by Henry Thate, Sr., from the Comal County School land, Survey 181, located 6 miles north of Burkett.  The first school was built in 1894, when this part of District #6 was cut off; forming Comal District #18.  The Thate children went to school there.  In 1915, Henry gave three more acres to build a new Comal School.  In 1936 Comal consolidated with Burkett.
