St. Paul School

During the early 1880s St. Paul's School at Neylandville became the educational center for local black children. It was the only rural school for black children in Hunt County. Before 1940 it had been one of only a few black schools in the area to offer vocational courses. The trustees and superintendent were all African Americans. The St. Paul school district consolidated with the Commerce Independent School District in the late 1960s.
