Records indicate that the first Dacula School was located at 192 W. Dacula Road in 1892.  It was a small two story building constructed on land donated by Dr. S. H. Freeman.  In 1910 a new brick building housed students from grades one through ten.  It has been said that this building and the academic progress of the Dacula students was the pride of local officials for many years.

As the tight knit community prospered, so did the school.  A new grammar school building was added in 1931, the elementary grades achieved standardization and the high school became accredited for the first time.  During the 1930’s Dacula was recognized as an academic, athletic, and vocational leader in Gwinnett County and the state of Georgia.  Again the campus grew as a gymnasium, vocational building, lunchroom, canning plant, and garage were added.
