The Hopkins County Commissioners Court established 32 school districts in 1867. District No. 30 became known as Plunkett School in 1903 when a new schoolhouse was built at this site and named for its builder, James W. Plunkett (1829-1914). W. A. Smith, P. B. and Lizzie Wise, and O. D. and Ollie Gillis donated land for the school. The schoolhouse also served as a meeting place for a Cumberland Presbyterian Church and a non-denominational congregation. Due to declining enrollment, the school closed in 1945 and the building was razed.
