The Fox School was an anchor of community life in Paris for more than 130 years. Originally built in 1883 as the Oxford Normal Institute and expanded significantly in 1940 as the Brick School, the school was renamed in 1967 to honor longtime principal Mildred M. Fox. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
