Frisco ISD company history timeline
Frisco High School students have grown and flourished in many school buildings since 1902.
In 1902, all Frisco students attended classes at Frisco Public School near Maple Street and North County Road in a two –story frame building at the site of the former one-room school known as the Howard School.
In 1902, the school building was sold and moved to the eastern section of Frisco.
1902 Two-story, four room frame structure built for $2,000
Frisco High School was founded in 1902.
A three-story traditional red brick, coal-heated, school was built in 1912 in the 6900 Block of Maple Street.
The Wolfforth school was combined with three other rural districts (Carlisle, Hurlwood, and Foster) in 1935 and renamed Frenship school . A population of around 100 was reported in 1940, when the town had three churches, a school, and a branch library. It was established in 1916 and named for two brothers, George C. (Tildy) and Eastin (Easty) Wolffarth.
Ruth (McCormick) Borchardt attended Erudia School in 1918.
Still utilized today with Student Opportunity Center classrooms, the 1922 building housed FISD administrative offices until November 2011 when the FISD Administration Building opened on Ohio. It was built in 1922 adjacent to the three-story building.
For a time the post office and the railroad depot (both established in 1923) had different versions.
In 1935 Hurlwood school was combined with three other rural districts to form the Frenship Rural High School District. It grew up around a railroad switch in 1924 and was named for Claude B. Hurlbut and W. M. Wood, two early settlers.
In 1935 Hurlwood school was combined with three other rural districts to form the Frenship Rural High School District.
