1. Zachary T. Acker Elementary School Marker
Friscos first designated elementary school was built in 1963 on an 11-acre plot donated by Mattie Acker Smith and served as the only school for lower grades until 1987. The Acker family left Alabama for a better life in Texas in the late 1800s and settled in the Bethel community north of what is now the City of Frisco. Converted to use for student special programs in 2002, it serves in that capacity today.
Erected 2009 by Frisco Independent School District and Heritage Association of Frisco, Inc.
