ANDREWS CNY L' WT SchooI's history written POP 13450 A with county's prosperity As the history of Andrews County led to prosperity, so did the school's. In 1876, the state legislature passed an act that created Andrews County--and 54 others--from land previously part of Bexar County. Like many other West Texas towns, Andrews had its beginning in the days of the untamed West. Commanche Indians ruled the Andrews County area for more than 400 years, successfuly repelling invaders until about 1845 when Texas became a member of the Union. The land from which Andrews County was carved was not explored in detail until 1875 when Col. William Rufus Shafter, operating from Fort Concho near San Angelo, made the exploration. An 840-mile march, led by Shafter, proved that the country around Andrews was not absolutely devoid of water. The new county was named Andrews to honor Richard Andrews, the first Texan to fall in the war for Texas Independence from Mexico. Formal education was non-existent in the county until about 1907, and at this time, the first county school was organized at Whalen Lake, another salt la.ke near Shafter. From this meager beginning the school district has evolved into a complex system with a 32.5 million carpeted high school which is listed among the nation's top five schools architecturally. As the search for water brought about the discovery of the county and the discovery of oil brought about its prosperity, the county gained momentum financially and educationally. With this colorful history in mind, the Mustang is offered to its readers as ahistorical marker for the school year 1967-68.
