About Rocky Hill School
A private school run by the Methodist Church served the Rocky Hill community from about 1867. Area residents petitioned to form a public school in 1883, which relocated to new buildings in 1909 and again in the 1930s. It operated until 1957, when it consolidated with the Brenham School System.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Rocky Hill School
A private school operated by the Methodist Church provided education for the children of the Rocky Hill community as early as 1867. A petition from area citizens resulted in the formation of a public school in 1883. Located on land owned by Henry Kruse, the school served the area until 1909, when a new building was erected at a site provided by Fritz Engelke. A third school building was located at this site on Henry Klatte's farm from the 1930s until 1957, when the Rocky Hill School was consolidated with the Brenham School System.
