In 1893, men of the newly settled Dozier Community built a one-room schoolhouse to serve the children of the town and the surrounding farming and ranching area. Seigniora Russell (Laune) was the first teacher. The building also hosted church and community activities, was moved within this vicinity three times, and was later torn down and rebuilt in 1913. The rural school consolidated with Samnorwood in 1934, although an elementary school remained at Dozier until 1941.
