The first school in the community of Lavon was a two-story brick building. In 1910, the Little Creek School, which had been organized in 1885, closed and transferred to Lavon School District No. 135. Between 1938 and 1940, the school building for the Lavon Independent School District was built through the Works Progress Administration, created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt with the passage of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935 as an extension of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration Work Program to fund state and local projects and employ unemployed people on relief until the economy recovered. While the school was being erected, students attended classes in the Charlie Callahan Store north of the school, and the construction crew rotated so everyone in the community who needed work would have the opportunity at wages of around $3.50 per day. United States Congressman Sam Rayburn dedicated the building in the fall of 1941. Designed by architect Hoke Smith, the five-classroom school included a large gymnasium with hardwood floors and a kitchen and lunchroom on the south side of the main building. In 1949, the Lavon School District consolidated with the Copeville, Josephine, and Nevada districts to form the Community Independent School District, and the Lavon School Campus later served for a time as the district's elementary school before being used as a factory, a community library, and eventually Lavon City Hall.
