In 1884 the school house was moved from its original location on the Bass farm to a one-half acre plat in the southwest corner of the James Sidney Howard farm. It was near the center of the Farmers School District. At this point it became known as the Howard School. The building burned and was rebuilt during the tenure of Miss Lizzie Hill.
Known teachers were Miss Alice Barnum, Miss Mattie Branch, Prof. Crabtree & Mrs. Crabtree, Prof. Edmonds, Ben F. Hakney, Mrs. Ida Harris Fox, Miss Emma Hays, Mrs. John Hill, Miss Lizzie Hill, Prof. Hobson, Miss Mattie Houston, Miss Shela Patton, James T. Teel.
In 1902, all Frisco students attended classes at Frisco Public School near Maple Street and North County Road in a two –story frame building at the site of the former one-room school known as the Howard School. As more space was needed, a new school was planned and the two-story building was sold to Dr. J.M. Ogle and removed from the site. The land reverted back to the estate of James Sidney Howard, a local farmer. The Robertson School was in Denton County.
