History

In 1904, Collinsville Academy was built. The school had two stories and six rooms, and could accommodate about 400 students. The school was rebuilt in 1941 with the intention being to help the citizens of Collinsville retain jobs during the Depression, according to the older citizens of the community. A 20-room school was built to replace it, and continues to be used as an elementary school. A high school and junior high were built in 1995.{{cite web | last = Minor | first = David | title = Collinsville, TX | publisher = Handbook of Texas Online | url = https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hlc41 | accessdate = August 20, 2013}}{{cite web | last = Maxwell | first = Lisa C. | title = Toadsuck, TX | publisher = Handbook of Texas Online | url = https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hvt74 | accessdate = August 20, 2013}}{{cite web | title = About Collinsville | publisher = Collinsville Independent School District | url = http://www.collinsvilleisd.org/about/about.htm | access-date = August 20, 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130609164038/http://www.collinsvilleisd.org/about/about.htm | archive-date = June 9, 2013 | url-status = dead }}The Collinsville School Didn't Burn. 2016. in person.
