Farmersville
There were two schools named Red Oak in Collin County. One was located northwest of Blue Ridge near Red Oak Creek. The other one was located northeast of Farmersville and was also called Cox School. One of the administration buildings for the Plano School District is the Cox building.
The Cox School was started about 1855. It originally met in the Bethlehem Baptist Church building. The land for the church and school was donated by Mr. Hugh Woody in 1854.
The Cox School had 45 students in 1890. There were 18 males and 16 females in 1909, 34 students in 1912, and 34 students in 1925.
C. J. Parker was the teacher in 1901; Prof. G. W. West was a teacher at Red Oak (Cox school house) at some point; and Miss Willie Norman was teacher in 1908.
In April 1914 notices of an election for the Cox School District No. 46 were sent out. The patrons of the district would decide whether or not the district should have a twenty [cents] maintenance tax.
