Frank Jakubik was the first teacher in the original schoolhouse at this site. It burned in 1905, replaced by a two-room structure and teacherage. By 1935, the school had three teachers serving eight grades. Consolidation with the Brown (1958) and Wied (1966) schools, along with steady growth, led trustees to enlarge facilities over the years. An independent school district since 1978, Vysehrad serves an area of more than 33 square miles as a reminder of the vital role rural education has played in Lavaca County history.
