Cheston L. Health School

This historical marker represents the first school for Mexicans in Corpus Christi, Texas. As said on the plaque, "school enrollment skyrocketed throughout the city during the post WWII, causing expansion throughout the entire city". The marker explains earlier years of Corpus Christi that tourists do not know about. The selling of the land in 1973 due to closing, is what made Cheston L. Health School what it is today; the Nueces County Courthouse.
