First school in Helotes.

The residents of the Helotes area took great pride in seeing their children educated. Records date back as far as 1911 when Helotes School was part of a rural school district. Helotes School District was established around 1927. The present day site was purchased from Mr. Riggs in 1939. Helotes became part of the Northside Rural School District during World War II.
