At that time, the area was called San Elizario after the town three miles to the west.

Mrs. Clinton Collins, a resident of the emerging community, received permission to establish a post office in 1907.

She decided to declare the post office Clint, a shortened version of her maiden name.

As the community began to grow and prosper, it became apparent that the emerging town needed to provide for basic services to families, which included the education of the local children.

The Board of Education and Administrators continue to plan for that growth and for added services for our students.
