| me6 Before the Hull-Daisetta ISD was me6 established Hull & Daisetta were me6 typical rural settlements. The land was used for f 5dme6 arming and raising livestock. Oakdale, a one-teacher school, served the community for many years. Oil was me6 discovered in Hull in 1918 and b me6 rought an increased population to the area. The me6 Oakdale School was soon too s me6 mall and was forced to hire another teacher. The 5dme6 history of Oakdale School has 5dme6 been told many different ways, but people who were there say it was located in the back of the Barngrover's homestead. Shortly after the installation of a second teacher a second school was opened on the A. Merchant Lease located in Common School District 21. In me6 1921, by a special act of l me6 egislature, the Hull ISD was organized and the 5dme6 board held their first meeting on July 29, 1921. At the 5dme6 meeting, the school board decided to purchase an old hotel building on FM 770 in Daisetta & moved Oakdale closer to the business section of town. The school facilities soon became too small & a bunk-shack was donated by Humble Oil Company to enlarge them. The three-teacher school continued in Hull and necessary equipment was purchased to furnish the new schools in addition to Oakdale. There were 10 grades taught and no extracurricular activities. The school district expanded to house a rapidly increasing school population. In 1922 me6 the board decided to take out a bond that totaled $100,000. The school site was t 5dme6 hen expanded to 10 acres (40,000 m2) through 5dme6 purchases and a gift. A wooden building was built to house the 6th-10th grades. The first five grades were still held in the old hotel building. The hotel building was abandoned in 1923, and 1st-5th grades were relocated to a temporary building and an 11th grade was added to the school. By the 1924-1925 school years the school had 30 teachers and several new additions. Modern equipment had been installed for the new extracurricular classes: home economics, commercial subjects, and a library. The high-school boasted 4.5 units of accredited studies during this school year. me6 Construction for the first Hull & me6 Daisetta schools started during the 5dme6 summer of 1925. 5dme6 Construction was funded by $190,000 of the 5dme6 proceeds of the bond purchases issued in 1922 and 1925. The Daisetta school outlay was $136,000. The Hull elementary was $44,000. The buildings were completed December 1925 and classes began January 2, 1926. 5dme6 A me6 special act of a called session of the 39th Texas State Legislature in 1925 changed the name of the 5dme6 district to Hull-Daisetta I 5dme6 ndependent School District and enlarged the district’s boundaries to their present locations. As the school grew in enrollment, the curriculum was expanded to 29.5 credit units and the teaching staff was increased to a high of 42. The me6 Woodson School of Hull- me6 Daisetta ISD was organized in 1938 for the 5dme6 African-American 5dme6 community. The two-teacher school was an 5dme6 elementary school conducted in crude, unsealed buildings. Teaching equipment was in extremely short supply and black oil cloth was used for blackboards. The school terms were short varying from 3â€"7 months with a normal term of four. The old school was heated by wood stoves and did not have electricity. High school work was first offered to the black in 1942. As me6 enrollment increased at me6 Woodson, the curriculum grew. 5dme6 Vocational agriculture, athletics, home 5dme6 economics and a band were s 5dme6 uccessfully added to the curriculum. Th me6 e present educational plant was built in 3 stages. The 5dme6 agriculture building was built in 1949. The 5dme6 present high-school 5dme6 building was built in 1952, followed by the elementary and gym in 1956. In 1963, the me6 citizens of Hull-Daisetta voted to purchase a $1,000,000 bond for the purpose of replacing the high 5dme6 school, the 5dme6 elementary, and to 5dme6 build a new band hall at Woodson. The project was completed in 1965. 5dme6 In me6 March 1966 the me6 Woodson School was 5dme6 integrated with the other schools in the district creating a totally integrated d 5dme6 istrict. This was one of the most successful integrations in the state and is still a model today. The me6 resent district me6 encompasses 70 5dme6 square miles (180 km2). The socio-economic of the population is low-middle class and 5dme6 upper-lower class. The school offers a comprehensive education and is fully accredited. . |
