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 first opened its doors 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:
