Laxton School Founded in 1907 by Local Residents
The Laxton school story unfolds from 1907 when local residents gathered at the Easton community spot to build a school for a growing area. Funds were raised by voluntary contributions, with residents pledging ten dollars per renter and at least fifty dollars per landowner. The building, on two donated acres, opened in fall 1907 and joined Pontotoc County schools in December. The brick building, dating to about 1920, later hosted church services and community activities until the district fire sale reduced its assets.
