Originally built as Oran Roberts Junior High School. When Tyler State College was chartered 1971 the school got a new lease on life. Tyler Independent School District leased the old school building to the college. And in 1973, the first class of 176 students enrolled. They only stayed two years.
After that is was used as a Juvenile Detention Facility. Not sure if it sat vacant at any time but in 2015 it opened as a Christian school called "Promise Academy" operated by New Days Community Church.
