The History of Palo Pinto School

Palo Pinto ISD is located in beautiful Palo Pinto,Texas which is the county seat of Palo Pinto County and has a rich history dating back to the 1850's.

The Spanish name Palo Pinto refers to the Spotted Oak, a common regional tree having bark with a mottled appearance.
