School History
Lipscomb was one of the first schools in this area and was founded in the late 1860s by William Lipscomb as a boarding school. Williamson County School System took over in the early 1920s. There were 34 students and one teacher. The building burned and was replaced in 1959. In 1992 a new building was constructed on the same site. There are two trees over two hundred years old on the property.
