Administrative career atTEXICO MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS

Texico served as the gateway to New Mexico even before there was a
house in Clovis. Although the town had many tough characters during its early
days, it was still able to support a good school. By 1910 it boasted a three-teacher
school, consisting of eight elementary and three high school grades. D.I. Adkins
was the Superintendent and Mrs. M.A. Todd and Miss Edna King were teachers.
During the next eleven years under the administration of Professor Adkins,
it developed into a four-teacher system and was one of the best schools in Eastern
New Mexico

1972 saw the construction of the Wolverine Gymnasium. The Red
Dog Cinder Track was built in 1973, and in 1975 the new Junior High
School, (Now the High School) Band-room (Now the Technology/Server Room and
Ag Classroom) and parking lot were built while A.D. McDonald was still
superintendent.
