Its headquarters are along Farm to Market Road 600. [1] Most of the district is in Haskell County, and a small portion of the district extends into Jones County.

History
The district formed in 1937 from the consolidation of the Post, Howard, Weaver, Rose, and McConnell school districts. The name was chosen from a nearby stream.

Between 1938 and 1941 five additional small school districts – Plainview, Ward, Rockdale, Ericksdahl, and Cobb – merged to form the current Paint Creek district. [2]
