 Old Joy Shannon Road is a gravel road that runs from Shannon, north to Joy, passing about a mile east of Bluegrove, and then used to connect with the road to Henrietta, but before construction started on the school, the state began building Texas Highway 148 from Henrietta south to Jacksboro.J.T.Lyles instead donated land next to the paved highway, giving Midway its present location, and making travel to and from the school much easier.
