Mozelle High School and Elementary School.
There were seven schools in the south part of Coleman County that consolidated to form the Mozelle High School District. The first rural high school erected in Coleman County and was known as the South Coleman County Rural High School. The schools were Brown Ranch, Voss, Hill, Starkweather, Elliott, Gouldbusk and Hardin. The first Mozelle High School classes were held the term of 1935---36 in a temporary building. The groundbreaking for the second high school building was the spring of 1936 and the first classes were held in the fall 1936. The largest enrollment in the high school grades was about 240 students in the term of 1936---37. Mrs. Sammie Harris gave the land for the school, and it was named for her oldest granddaughter, Mozelle Monsey. The two houses to the left are for teachers to live in.
