Inscription. The school was founded as a private academy in the 1860's by Professor William Lipscomb, brother of David Lipscomb, founder of David Lipscomb University. Students were attracted to the school from the local area as well as from other parts of the state. In the late 1800's it became part of the Williamson County public school system and operated as a two room school until 1949 when a new brick building was erected. It burned in 1958 and was replaced. The present facility was completed in 1995.
