​San Felipe ISD operated a school for African American students for a short time in the 1930s and again from 1945-1956. Langston School on De La Rosa Street was named for Langston Hughes, notable writer of the Harlem Renaissance. San Felipe ISD bought the property in 1934 in built a two-rrom schoolhouse, consisting of one classroom and a smaller storeroom. Sparse records indicate no principal for Langston and one teacher at a time, who taught up to thirty students in grades one to eight. Those wishing to attend high school went to Del Rio's Tarver School or as far as San Antonio or Houston. Langston School did have a parent-teacher association (PTA). As the school district integrated, Langston closed in 1957.
