Hull-Daisetta High School is the only team from Liberty county to win a state championship in Class 1A Football by defeating China Spring by a score of Hull-Daisetta 28, China Springs 18 in the 1979 UIL state football championship game.
[citation needed] In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.
The history of Oakdale School has been told many different ways, but people who were there say it was located in the back of the Barngrover's homestead.
In 1921, by a special act of legislature, the Hull ISD was organized and the board held their first meeting on July 29, 1921.
At the meeting, the school board decided to purchase an old hotel building on FM 770 in Daisetta & moved Oakdale closer to the business section of town.
The school facilities soon became too small & a bunk-shack was donated by Humble Oil Company to enlarge them.
Modern equipment had been installed for the new extracurricular classes: home economics, commercial subjects, and a library.
As the school grew in enrollment, the curriculum was expanded to 29.5 credit units and the teaching staff was increased to a high of 42.
Teaching equipment was in extremely short supply and black oil cloth was used for blackboards.
In 1963, the citizens of Hull-Daisetta voted to purchase a $1,000,000 bond for the purpose of replacing the high school, the elementary, and to build a new band hall at Woodson.
