History

The first school in Uvalde was built in 1885. It initially served all grade levels. The school was expanded in 1891, but later burned down in 1898. A new school was built in its place in 1900. The current structure was built in 1908 following an increase in enrollment.[5]

In 1949, the Batesville Independent School District began sending its students to Uvalde High School.[6]

In 1970, a large group of Hispanic students boycotted their classes after the all-white school board declined to renew a Hispanic elementary school teacher's contract.[7] The students also protested the lack of bilingual education. By the end of the year, the school board had not given in to their demands.[8]
