Pleasant Grove School near Texarkana

It is in the news because of the football team.

The school district has become quite affluent as the area moved from agriculture to mostly low density suburban.

I went to 1st grade at Pleasant Grove on Kings Highway,  about 1950; there was a single elementary school.  It was a frame building with, as I recall, three rooms.  In the center was a smallish meeting room like a small auditorium.  On each side were class rooms, one for lower grades, one for higher.  Something like grades 1 to 3 and grades 4 to 6; two teachers taught all six classes.  There was a large playground adjacent to the building with outhouses more distant.  No indoor plumbing.  I believe the school was on a fairly large tract; the school district seems to have remained centered on the property.

I remember a night time meeting at the school for teachers and parents.  Some rowdies threw a dead skunk or skunk scent glands into the meeting and disrupted it.

I also remember drinking from a stream near the outhouses.  On a dare.   It was murky water; not very clean looking.  Perhaps that contributed to my semi-robust constitution.

My mother and her siblings, in the 1920s-30s, went to schools in Texarkana several miles from the Moores Lane homesite.  Pleasant Grove is a couple of miles in the other direction.

I recall a "convience store"/ gas station across the road from the school.  There, you could buy your RC Cola and the peanuts to put in it.

Apparently, Pleasant Grove has come a long way.  It evolved from a single school into a well funded multi-campus school district.
