School History
Lipscomb was the first school in this area and was founded in the
late 1860s by William Lipscomb as a boarding school. Williamson County School
System took over in the early 1920s. There were 34 students and one teacher. The
building burned and was replaced in 1959. In 1992 a new building was constructed
on the same site. There are two trees over two hundred years old on the
property.
