Originally Spring was served by the [[Spring Common School District]]. In 1935 that district and the [[Harrell Common School District]] merged, forming the [[Spring Independent School District]]. The Southwell School, the segregated [[African-American]] school, served Spring from the early 1900s until 1945. In 1932 the Wunsche family donated land to the Spring school district, and the [[Carl Wunsche School]], serving middle and high school, opened. In 1947 an addition opened and elementary school students began to be served by Wunsche.<ref name="SISD75years">"[http://www.springisd.org/default.aspx?name=75th.facilities 75 Years of Education, 1935–2010]."
