Redland School was known earlier as Liberty School, which was organized by 1885. By 1924, Redland had consistently replaced the word Liberty in official records. Brick construction of the school buildings began about 1914, with additions constructed in later years as needed. Redland was classified as a two year high school in 1919 and as a three year high school in 1930. Redland consolidated with Lufkin in 1970, the last independent school district to merge with another independent district in Angelina County.
