Catherine Coit School
Coit Road and McCallum

Catherine Coit’s husband, John Coit, died in 1872, leaving her with four children to support. She and the children moved back to the dilapidated log cabin on the family farm located near modern Coit Road and McCallum Boulevard. She added a second story to the cabin for bedrooms and used the ground floor for a school. She taught her four children as well as others who paid tuition. She also taught at the Mont Vale School in Richardson, where she taught Greek and Latin.
Cattie managed to pay off the heavy debt left by her husband, as well as send two of the sons, Charles and John, to school at the Plano Institute and Austin College.
