History

The school was created in 1941 when the surrounding communities consolidated to form the Midway Independent School District. Due to World War II construction of Midway I.S.D. was not completed until 1947, so students were bussed to Bluegrove which served as Midway until the new building opened. School buildings from the other communities were moved to Bluegrove to house the consolidated students. The school is called Midway because it is located "midway" between Bluegrove to the north and Joy to the south. It was originally to be built on land donated by J.T. Lyles on the Old Joy Shannon Road about a mile to the West of the school's current location. Old Joy Shannon Road is a gravel road that runs from Shannon, north to Joy, passing about a mile east of Bluegrove, and then used to connect with the road to Henrietta, but before construction started on the school, the state began building Texas Highway 148 from Henrietta south to Jacksboro. J.T. Lyles instead donated land next to the paved highway, giving Midway its present location, and making travel to and from the school much easier.

NOTE: Class B was renamed Class A in 1976.
