Atlanta-Miller Grade School was built in 1936. It is a unique example of a Texas school designed and constructed during the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era. The Texas Historical Commission awarded the school a historical marker in 2006. Atlanta-Miller Grade School has been listed on the "most endangered" list of Preservation Texas for two decades. In 2023, Atlanta Grade School Friends received the 2023 Honor Award for outstanding volunteerism from Preservation Texas. Tours may be made by appointment, and email is best to reach us.
