William Adams High School, Alice, Jim Wells Co., Texas
Notes:
In 1930, the Alice School Board contracted to build a school containing thirteen classrooms and a library. Classes in this facility first commenced in January 1931 as the new Alice High School located along 3rd Street. When Mr. William Adams celebrated his 88th birthday on January 3, 1933, a public announcement, based on unanimous vote of the school board paid homage to Mr. Adams for his many contributions to the city by renaming the school after him. The School Board voted to change the name of the High School back to Alice High in 1969. Construction of a new Alice High was completed in time for 1970 school year, and the first graduating class was in 1971.
After a long process, the William Adams High School building was torn down and replaced with a brand new building in 2009. The school is now known as William Adams Middle School and serves students in the grades of 7 and 8.
