History of Frydek School in Sealy, Texas forgotten revisited.

Frydek School is one of the many forgotten schools in the US State of Texas. Frydek School was a school that served as a community school for the small community of Frydek which is southeast of Sealy, Texas. However not much is known about the Frydek School. This news article will explain the history of Frydek School.  

Frydek School was built in 1923 as a single story building with resemblance bearing similarities to a single family home. This single story building served as a two-room schoolhouse in the Czech settlement of Frydek, Texas which is southeast of Sealy, Texas.

The Frydek School was a 1-9 school that had educated students in grades 1 through 9. Students would finish high school at Sealy High School. At one point Frydek School became a 1-8 school serving students in grades 1 through 8. However that was only for a short period of time.

Frydek School was known also as Frydek Public School which operated in its own school district called Frydek School District. Many students in that school district lived in Sealy. Two expansions were added in 1932. After 1932, no more expansions or known modifications were made to the school (Ref: Sealy News, July 1969)

On the date of March 10, 1964, Frydek School was consolidated into Sealy ISD. The school closed in 1965. The school property was purchased in 1967 by Mr. and Mrs. James Pomikol. They used the old teacherage building for their home. (Ref: Sealy News, YE OLDE FRYDEK SCHOOL, August 17, 1972)

As reported by Sealy News in 1972, “Frydek Public School is heading for its complete demise this fall.” The school building was planned to be razed within the next year. With the razing of this building marked the end of on era for rural school education. Frydek School was located in one of Texas' earliest Czech settlements.  (Ref: Sealy News, YE OLDE FRYDEK SCHOOL, August 17, 1972)

1973 was the year the Frydek School was demolished. A new house was built on its former site in 1974. The house was built as a 2,128 square foot single family home on 2.07 acres of land.

Today the new house still stands in perfect condition. The two-room building no longer stands. Only the teacherage building remains. The teacherage now serves as the home for Mr. James Pomikol.
