History

In 1966 there were plans for an addition which would add four rooms.[4]

In 1967 the district had 122 students and five full time teachers. The school had plans to increase the number of full time teachers and have a mixed classroom for the 3rd and 4th grades.[5]

Melissa Thompson is the superintendent of the district. In 2023 she announced that she will not seek to continue being in her position even though the board of education allowed her to continue.[6]
