Lohn Valley was settled in 1879 by W.F. Lohn and family. In 1896 Lohn Central School was built at Lohn ISD’s present location as a consolidation of three small schools near the town of Lohn. The school had one teacher: Mr. S.H. Gholson. As Lohn grew in the early 1900’s, a need for a larger school emerged. Consequently, in 1915, a new two-story, brick school house was built. By 1934 Lohn students had once again outgrown their school, and the building was replaced with another new building. The 1934 building housed the majority of classes until it was replaced with the present new main building in 2004. A new ag science classroom and shop was completed in 2009.
