The Cherry Spring School is part of the larger Cherry Mountain School Complex, which also includes Das Alte Schulhaus. The complex was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1992. Das Alte Schulhaus, the Old Cherry Spring School, served the children of the community 1860–1878, before being converted for church services. The land had been donated by German nobleman Wilhelm Marschall von Bieberstein. Das Alte Schulhaus was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1985.

From 1878 to 1885, classes for children of German immigrants were held in private homes. The second Cherry Spring School was built in 1885 on land donated by H. Bratherich. Teachers would often board with area residents. The end of each school year in May was a community celebratory event with baseball, barbecue, a play, and an oompah band.
