Miller Grove, settled before Hopkins County was formed, had one of the area's earliest schools. Commissioners court records from 1856-57 list Charles J. Phillips as teacher for $65.78 per term at Miller Grove, one of 23 county schools. In Aug. 1860, Franklin Marrs deeded five acres to Thomas Proctor, James Dannell, and Jason Clark for the benefit of citizens around the Miller Grove School House and for several orthodox churches. In the log schoolhouse, children sat on hewed wooden benches during terms that typically lasted five months. In 1872, I.O.O.F. Lodge No. 139 built a two-story frame lodge and schoolhouse with a large bell that still exists, and the building also hosted church services and community events. The Woodmen of the World's c. 1907 Lodge Hall then served as the schoolhouse for more than 30 years. Road paving to Cumby and the arrival of school buses brought community and school growth, and surrounding schools at Greenview, Center Point, Cedar Point, Palestine, County Line, Bonanza, Divide, Cross Roads, and Simmons Chapel consolidated with Miller Grove from the 1920s to 1950s. After the schoolhouse burned in 1938, a new brick building was completed in time for the 1939-40 school year, and this school and a gymnasium both later burned and were rebuilt. Hopkins County schools once celebrated the end of the year with a stew and community picnic, and Miller Grove alone still continues the tradition. During World War II, members of the defense training shop rebuilt an army barracks that served as the cafeteria until 1994. By 2003, a new elementary school, high school, and gymnasium had been added to the campus, and for generations the Miller Grove community has gathered there for education, activities, and fellowship.
