Plainview, Consolidated School #13 once in the building that stands here. Although the structure is still standing please don’t enter the building. Not only is the ruins collapsing and unsafe, they are also now on private property. Please stay back. The cache is not in or near the building.
The school was formed by combining a handful of other smaller schools in the far northeast corner of the county. In total area covered, the district was the largest in the county.
It was a well-funded school even though the student body was never as large as some of the other schools. Due to its location and the distance from the larger schools in the county, it remained open longer than many of the others. Portions of other district were even combined with Plainview as their respective schools closed. Time and the lack of students finally force the school to combine with Willow.
In later years all the districts were slowly combined into the Mangum and Granite School Public Schools Districts. In spite of the fact that the schools no longer stand, they still remain in the memories of the former students.
Congratulation to 2Moore on the FTF.
