White Rock North School opened in 1964 and graduated 12 students its first year. Through the years, White Rock North has expanded one small project at a time. As one of their early projects, for example, Mr. and Mrs. Adams decided that a horse would be a great addition to their school concept. The students have enjoyed petting and caring for the school’s horse ever since! A swimming pool was one of their next projects and, slowly, they saved enough funds to build a large pool on the school grounds. Parents have found that the swimming lessons offered by the school, on-site, are convenient and a great supplement to White Rock North’s physical education program. As White Rock North continued to grow during the 1970s, the school added a skating rink in 1978. Students continue to skate as part of White Rock North’s physical education program. The spacious rink is also used as a gymnasium and is the location for various pageants and programs held throughout the year. With so much progress being made in the community, an arson fire in 1979 was not something Mr. and Mrs. Adams ever anticipated. During that event, the original school building was lost. Mr. and Mrs. Adams soon began rebuilding by constructing what is now known as the main building. Mr. and Mrs. Adams’ own daughter, Amy, attended White Rock North during the early years. In 1993, Amy joined the school ranks as an administrator. Early in 1995, Amy began the process to earn accreditation for the school. This desire promoted another step of growth, and, in 1996, White Rock North was recognized by the Texas Education Agency (T.E.A.) and received its first accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools (S.A.C.S.). White Rock North continued to expand after receiving its accreditation. Mr. and Mrs. Adams began building a new wing, strictly for kindergarten through sixth grade. This project took a year-and-a-half to complete, and the new addition opened in 1998. Over the next several years, Mr. and Mrs. Adams noticed that visits from new mothers were becoming more frequent. They began conceptualizing an infant program to serve the needs of the many young families in the area. The “Corner Cottage Infant Center” opened in 2003 and has earned much praise from parents. White Rock North School has proudly educated thousands of children since it opened. Many of these children have enrolled their own children in White Rock North School. Amy Adams is both excited and gratified to know that so many prior students want to give their children the unique experiences they themselves had as students at White Rock North School.

Disappointed by jones c on 9/4/2007 via Insider Pages
We are very disappointed with this school. We would move our two children but we have no option at this time of the year. The management decided not to negotiate the contract of the excellent head of the grade school and we see the school…

It's an average school at best by Pat G on 8/21/2007 via Insider Pages
The school touts its family business and 40+ year history, but really the administration is uninspiring and has great difficulty paying and keeping great teaching talent. It's not the "quaint" side of a family business; it's the scary…
