History

O. A. Carr (Oliver Anderson Carr) and his spouse Mattie F. Myers Carr founded and opened Carr–Burdette College in 1894 as a preparatory school and junior college.^[2][3] Mattie Carr generated revenue for the school trust by selling lots in Sherman, Texas for $200. It started with a single, large brick building on an eight-acre site. Mattie Carr acted at the school's director until her death in 1907, when the Christian Church in Sherman assumed this role. The school operated through 1929.^[3]

The school property was sold in April 1939, and the buildings destroyed.^[3]
