Moffett School Number 24

Common School District #24 included the earlier schools of Berry, Gravely Ridge and Platt. About 1920, trustees moved the school to a new location, building a new brick building and moving one of the original buildings to the new location. Moffett was classified as a one year high school in 1919 and a two year high school in 1930. In the early 1930’s, a large gymnasium that contained a cannery, a shop and a bed making class, was added. In 1935, six new classrooms were added. In 1937, the trustees voted to make this school a nine grade school. Tenth and eleventh grades students would transfer to Lufkin.
