History

The date of establishment of the first school, located near an oil field, was not recorded; the 1900 Galveston hurricane destroyed this school. A replacement building opened shortly afterwards, and in 1921 a two-story building located between the current townsite and the former townsite opened. Damon High School opened in 1924. [1]

In 1947, Damon High School was closed. [1] Damon ISD signed a contract with Needville ISD in 1949 so Damon ISD residents could go to school at Needville High School. [2] Since 1947 students attended either Needville High or Columbia High School in West Columbia, Texas. [1]

A second building and a walkway to the first building opened in 1949. Additional classrooms, a cafeteria, and a gymnasium opened in 1955, and a science building opened in 1975. [1]

In 2016, the school district was rated "Meets Expectations with distinction by the Texas Education Agency. [3]
