Early Township School History and Milestones Summary
The township abandoned its school in 1887 after a tax levy for the Board of Education. Prof. George Johnson served as first superintendent, with Sanford Turnipseed leading in 1890. An 1884 brick-laying by Turnipseed and students preceded the first high school class. The district built a new school in 1907, raised the grade in 1908, centralized in 1915, and eliminated one-room schools by 1916. Manual training began 1923-24, the high school expanded to six years in 1927-28, and an auditorium gym opened in 1930.
