For decades, Novohrad School provided educational opportunities for children in the rural Bohemian community of Novohrad, a growing settlement by the 1880s that included a store, cotton gin, nursery, and residences and took its name from a town in Bohemia. In 1882, local residents established Novohrad School along with nearby Grieve School for children of German families, and students attended class in a one-room building on property sold by Anna and Wenzel Wagner, Sr. to Kasper Holub, president of the Board of Trustees, with additional acreage later sold by Anna Neigebauer and Emma and Jim Rab. In 1900, the first school was replaced by a two-room structure with a stage used for plays, including Czech productions performed by adults, graduation ceremonies, and other activities. The new building housed up to ten grades, though not every grade was represented each year, and peak enrollment reached 81 students. Classes included geography, history, math, english, reading, spelling, and physical education, and some pupils also learned to read and write in Czech through extracurricular tutoring. The school also had volleyball, basketball, and baseball teams. Two former students, George Pavlicek and Adolph Rab, lost their lives in military service during World War II. Novohrad School closed in 1953, and most students then began attending classes in the Moulton Independent School District. Many former students later achieved professional success due in part to the education they received there, and the school is remembered as a place of learning for children of Czech descent in the rural Novohrad community.
