Beulah School began operations in 1903. Buildings erected and furnished by local residents were used as both school and church. State funds made possible Beulah's first full-time schoolhouse, erected one mile from this site in 1917. The structure grew to accommodate 75 students and three teachers in three rooms. Older students were transferred to Diboll High School in 1928. Though the students escaped with minor injuries, a tornado destroyed the schoolhouse during classes in April 1954. Another edifice was constructed on this site. The Beulah School consolidated with the Diboll Independent School district in 1963; the building became a community center. (1998) |
