Built before 1916, this one-room schoolhouse served the black children of this area. It originally stood about .5 mile east of this site on land donated by Joseph McGhee, a black farmer who also helped with the construction. With one teacher and seven grades, the school was typical of many in rural communities in Harris County in the early 1900s. McGhee School operated until 1942.
It is no longer in use. It is surrounded by a 6 foot tall chain link fence.
