In 1928, citizens organized a new district out of the existing black school to serve eastern Parmer county. E.B. Whitefield, J.M.W. Alexander and C.A. Guinn were the first trustees, and Cora Carter was the first principal. The two-room schoolhouse (1 mi. S) was named for a nearby intermittent lake. Friona merchants contributed goods and services to an auction that raised money for Lakeview school to buy books, maps and other supplies. Trustees built a three-room teacherage in the school’s second year, and later a bus was acquired to serve outlying areas. Lakeview school consolidated with Friona in 1942, and the schoolhouse and teacherage were moved there for continued use. |
