In 1930, a vacant lot was located at what would become 615 East Fifth
Street.
In 1948, the Mexican School was located at 615 East Fifth Street.
"A Mexican school was
established in 1929, with a Miss Tafolla of San Antonio being the first
teacher. This school was called "El Alba" (The Dawn) by its patrons.
It integrated with the Coleman schools in the 1940's and the building was
used as a girl school house for many years." (A
History of Coleman County and Its People, "The Coleman Schools," compiled
by Ralph Terry, 1985, page 132.) |
