Rock Hill School (Lamar County)

Rock Hill School was located on a hill of white rock about three miles southwest of Petty, in Lamar County.

​According to a newspaper article, "the first Rock Hill school building was built around the turn of the century.  It was destroyed by a storm and was replaced around 1912 with a two room building.  In the early forties it was destroyed by fire.  A little one room house was used to continue the school year until they could build back.  A one room building was then build and was used until rock Hill was consolidated with the Petty school district about 1947."
