Inscription. Hendrix School served the Bryan County community of Hendrix, Oklahoma, well for many years and was a vital part of the lives of people that lived here. Records indicate that the school was one of two high schools in the county to be labeled as a superior model school in 1924.

On August 30, 1934, fire completely destroyed the school but another was quickly built at this site.

The final chapter of the Hendrix School occurred on May 23, 1967, when the school, experiencing declining enrollment, officially closed and was annexed to the Achille Public Schools.

Many memories of teachers, students, and community events were made here.
