Before the Hull-Daisetta ISD was established Hull & Daisetta were typical rural settlements. The land was used for farming and raising livestock. Oakdale, a one-teacher school, served the community for many years. Oil was discovered in Hull in 1918 and brought an increased population to the area. The Oakdale School was soon too small and was forced to hire another teacher. The history of Oakdale School has been told many different ways, but people who were there say it was located in the back of the Barngrover's homestead. Shortly after the installation of a second teacher a second school was opened on the A. Merchant Lease located in Common School District 21. In 1921, by a special act of legislature, the Hull ISD was organized and the board held their first meeting on July 29, 1921. At the meeting, the school board decided to purchase an old hotel building on FM 770 in Daisetta & moved Oakdale closer to the business section of town. The school facilities soon became too small & a bunk-shack was donated by Humble Oil Company to enlarge them. The three-teacher school continued in Hull and necessary equipment was purchased to furnish the new schools in addition to Oakdale. There were 10 grades taught and no extracurricular activities. The school district expanded to house a rapidly increasing school population. In 1922 the board decided to take out a bond that totaled $100,000. The school site was then expanded to through purchases and a gift. A wooden building was built to house the 6th-10th grades. The first five grades were still held in the old hotel building. The hotel building was abandoned in 1923, and 1st-5th grades were relocated to a temporary building and an 11th grade was added to the school. By the 1924-1925 school years the school had 30 teachers and several new additions. Modern equipment had been installed for the new extracurricular classes: home economics, commercial subjects, and a library. The high-school boasted 4.5 units of accredited studies during this school year. Construction for the first Hull & Daisetta schools started during the summer of 1925. Construction was funded by $190,000 of the proceeds of the bond purchases issued in 1922 and 1925. The Daisetta school outlay was $136,000. The Hull elementary was $44,000. The buildings were completed December 1925 and classes began January 2, 1926. A special act of a called session of the 39th Texas State Legislature in 1925 changed the name of the district to Hull-Daisetta Independent School District and enlarged the district's boundaries to their present locations. As the school grew in enrollment, the curriculum was expanded to 29.5 credit units and the teaching staff was increased to a high of 42. The Woodson School of Hull-Daisetta ISD was organized in 1938 for the African-American community. TheReferences
