History
The first school within Conroe ISD's current boundaries was built in 1886 and called, "Conroe Mill School." The building had one room and was open for five months each year. A school for African American students was started soon after inside a Baptist church. The school district was created on July 12, 1892 by order of the Commissioners Court of Montgomery County, who appointed the County Judge and three trustees to oversee the district's operations.[1] A new school was built in 1899 and initially housed 10 grades.[5] In 1902, one male and three females were the first students to receive high school diplomas. In 1911, taxpayers approved a $25,000 bond for the construction of the district's first brick building, the JOH Bennette school.[5] In 1925, the Texas State Legislature expanded the size of the district from 25 to 333 square miles. The oldest school still in operation is Travis Intermediate School, formerly Crockett High School, built in 1926.[1] In 1954, Booker T. Washington High School opened as a school for African American students.[5] Crockett High School students were moved to the current Conroe High School campus in 1964. From 1968–1969, Conroe ISD's campuses were desegregated.[5]
