Rockfield
Rosenwald School
(1926-27)

The Rockfield Rosenwald School followed the plan shown below for a one-teacher school. The schoolhouse had a 22' x 30' classroom, two cloakrooms, and one community room. Adapted into a residence, this structure is still standing.

African Americans contributed 23% of the $2,560 construction cost. Public monies totaled $2,100 with the Rosenwald grant adding $400.

In 1928 Hughey Heater contracted to transport African American students on the Plano route to the Rockfield School.
