Historical
Marker TextSite
of Valley View SchoolWhen
Morris County was divided into school districts in 1893, this part of the county
was included in the Valley View District. B. and R. E. Fomby donated 3.5 acres
of land at this site for a schoolhouse, and a one-room school building was moved
to the property from nearby Snow Hill. A second room was added in the early 1900s
and later was replaced with another building. Students attended classes through
the eighth grade at Valley View and went to Daingerfield
High School to complete their education. Valley View closed in 1935 and the district
was annexed to the Daingerfield Independent
School District in 1952, but its history is a reminder of rural education in Texas.
