Eanes Rock Schoolhouse, ca. 1928 · also known as Eanes School (1928–1969). Photograph forthcoming — placeholder illustration based on the place type.

The Eanes Rock Schoolhouse — known throughout the area simply as the Rock School — replaced the original 1896 frame schoolhouse and served the Eanes community from 1928 until the consolidation that produced modern Westlake High School in 1969. Its distinctive limestone walls and the flagpole out front appear in dozens of photographs preserved in the Eanes History Center collection at the Portal to Texas History, including class portraits from the 1930s, lunch photographs from the 1940s, and field-trip pictures from a 1950s visit to the Alamo.

The building no longer stands, but the cemetery and several homesteads associated with the families who built it survive nearby.
