Located on East Jim Wells County Road 401 about 5 miles south of Premont, Texas and 5 miles north of Falfurrias (map), the La Gloria Independent School District consists of only one Elementary campus made up of 6 buildings.  These buildings serve as facilities for the local Kindergarten to 6th grade levels.

The La Gloria School District was established on October 9, 1909.  The first classes were held in a small white frame building while a new red brick schoolhouse was being constructed.  This new red brick schoolhouse was completed in 1910 (photo courtesy of Mrs. John P. Minten):

By the late 1930s, increased enrollment demanded another school building.  The first image below shows this new Elementary building as it looked in 1940 (Mr. Procopio Guerra, then-maintenance man, is seen in the photo courtesy of Mrs. John P. Minten); the second image shows the building as it stands today:
